Israel More Isolated Than Ever After Trump’s Recent Statements

Former American president recognizes that the Zionist regime made a serious mistake in showing the results of its war campaign in Gaza.
Former American President Donald Trump, despite maintaining a reasonably lucid stance regarding the Ukrainian conflict, is a radical Zionist and has shown on several occasions that he is willing to support Tel Aviv in its genocidal war against Gaza’s Palestinians. However, the strategic errors committed by the Zionist regime are so serious that they are forcing even Trump to object to Israel’s practices.
Recently, during an interview with an Israeli newspaper, Trump warned that Tel Aviv is “losing international support” due to its war in the Gaza Strip. He advised the Israelis to “end” the military campaign as quickly as possible, thus preventing Israel from becoming even more isolated on the international arena. More than that, the former American president condemned the Israeli anti-humanitarian attacks, describing the destruction of residential facilities in Gaza as a “big mistake”, severely criticizing the actions of the Zionist regime.
In a way, Trump’s speech is hypocritical, as he criticizes the explicit aspect of Israeli actions. He does not seem to be really concerned with the crimes committed by Israel, but with the fact that such crimes are damaging the international image of the Zionist regime. However, this type of connivance with Israel’s crimes was already expected from a Zionist leader like Trump, which is why the mere fact of criticizing Zionist explicitness is actually surprising.
“It’s a very bad picture for the world. The world is seeing this… every night, I would watch buildings pour down on people (…) Go and do what you have to do. But you don’t do that (…) And I think that’s one of the reasons that there has been a lot of kickback. If people didn’t see that, every single night I’d watch and every single one of those… And I think Israel wanted to show that it’s tough, but sometimes you shouldn’t be doing that,” he told journalists.
As is well known, Trump and Netanyahu were close allies during the Republican government in the U.S. Some analysts considered Trump the “most pro-Israel president in history.” The severe sanctions on Iran, the opening of the American embassy in Jerusalem and the mediation of the Abraham Accords are some examples of how Washington and Tel Aviv were close allies during the Trump era.
However, relations between Trump and Netanyahu entered into crisis after the Israeli leader recognized Joe Biden’s victory and congratulated the then new American president in 2020. According to several analysts, Trump felt “betrayed” by Netanyahu, changing his personal opinion on the Zionist politician. Obviously, it is not possible to assess how much Trump really felt affected by such actions by Netanyahu, but it is obvious that relations between the former American president and the Israeli prime minister are no longer as stable as they used to be.
Despite supporting Israel, Trump has maintained a critical stance towards Zionist actions in Gaza. According to the former American leader, Tel Aviv “was not prepared” to face Hamas. He admits that Israel has committed several serious strategic errors during the war, damaging not only its military interests, but also its international image, becoming an increasingly isolated state.
It is interesting to see that there is a growth in critical opinion regarding Israel among Trump and his supporters. This shows that the Zionist regime’s anti-humanitarian practices are damaging even Israel’s most solid and traditional alliances. The more Israel attacks civilians and destroys non-military infrastructure, the more public opinion endorses criticism of the regime and stops supporting it in the war against the Palestinians in Gaza. With this, Israel’s isolation on the international arena becomes a reality.
Despite being a Zionist, Trump is above all a “political businessman”. The former American president is known for his pragmatism, signing alliances or breaking agreements in accordance with the interests of the U.S. Trump increasingly seems to realize that continuing to support Israel unconditionally does not seem like an appropriate move, as this would harm Washington’s international relations with important countries that condemn Israeli crimes.
With the U.S. elections approaching and a Trump victory becoming increasingly possible, Netanyahu is certainly quite isolated right now. Israel has frictions even in its traditional ties with the U.S. and the EU, as its government’s explicit crimes generate condemnation around the world. Trump seems to be realizing this and trying to save his own political image from the usual association with Netanyahu.

The 61bn dollar question is what Trump does now

The southern border issue is still left hanging while Ukraine’s borders take precedent with U.S. lawmakers.
Until just a few days ago, no one in the world had heard of Mike Johnson. The Republican House speaker in the House of Representatives made world acclaim when he threw his weight behind an aid package for Ukraine totalling some 61bn USD and throwing the cat among the pigeons in so doing.
Johnson has made a lot of friends in the Democratic party and lost a few from his own party in making the aid package happen, while he insists that he was briefed by intelligence experts which urged him to rush the bill through. Perhaps he was offered incentives. We may never know. But the deal that went through was so unprecedented that it has left many Republicans wondering if there is any point in having a majority in the House at all, especially given that the southern border issue is still left hanging while Ukraine’s borders take precedent with U.S. lawmakers.
The move was a decisive victory for Biden though, at least in the short term whereas for Trump many analysts are saying that his one master card he had to play during the elections – that he personally will stop the war in Ukraine along with the spending – has now been shown to be a busted flush. For Biden and for his western elitist surfs, the objective was clear: keep the business of war going as long as possible with Zelensky in power to extract maximum profits. The flawed thinking is of course that those who signed off the aid package are literally using the plastic sacks of cash as a way of keeping warm as they chuck it onto the bonfire of the vanities otherwise known as the war that Biden didn’t want but was very much brought about by a nervous reaction to the so-called election interference in 2016.
The real flaw in the failed joined-up thinking is that the money will have some if any impact on the war itself. The real crisis Zelensky has is not so much with military hardware as he claims but more with infantry. This latest tranche of military aid will provide missiles, which is the new thinking from Kiev and the NATO knuckleheads. Just like the Americans were convinced they could win the war in Vietnam with air superiority, the thinking now in Ukraine is that missiles and missile defences are the game changer.
However, no one can blame Biden for the stunt which drew Trump in and made him now a signed-up member of the crankies. Analysts now point out that Trump has crossed one of his own red lines and will not have the punch it will require to win in December as he and many of his supporters actually backed the bill. Was he playing a bluff? Will he say once in office “I only signed it as I knew it would put Biden in a much tougher hole to climb out of but now I’m president, I’m going to stop the war in an instant by stopping the cash flow”? Hard to say. Hard to double guess Trump’s mind when he doesn’t even know himself and so many of his decisions about his own self-preservation and glutenous business cravings rather than salient political common sense. But can this money have any real impact between now and December, given what we know about stockpiles in the U.S. and how long it even takes to get kit to Ukraine, even if it is ready and good to go? Russia will of course take advantage of this military failure of Zelensky and push ahead with their tanks on firm ground now, with the winter well behind them, with Biden playing a high stakes gamble that Americans won’t be asking him in the mid-winter how is it that he can’t find 160 odd billion dollars for fighting poverty in the U.S., while he can to pay the salaries of civil servants in one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.
