An Oval Office argument
The article discusses the evolving dynamics of US-Israel relations, particularly highlighting President Donald Trump’s significant policy shift during his talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he pledged US control over Gaza and a strong commitment to Israel. Following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, President Joe Biden’s administration provided substantial military support to Israel, sparking domestic protests and a cultural war over American attitudes towards the conflict, with dwindling public support for Israel reflected in recent polls. The long-standing alliance, once seen as unshakeable, is now facing scrutiny as public opinion shifts, particularly among Democrats and younger voters, raising questions about the future of US policy towards Israel.
