Tel Aviv – as president Donald Trump On Friday, he completed his tour in the Middle East with high proportions, many media outlets portrayed his decision to bypass Israel as a proof of the schism with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
However, although the Air Force did not land In IsraelExperts say Trump’s visit to the advanced policy that has closely aligned with Israeli interests and has given a strategic opportunity that Jerusalem has yet to be used.
Avner Golov, Vice President in Mind Israel and former senior director of the Israeli National Security Council, told Fox News Digital, “Israel sees a huge wave approaching in the Middle East – Val of the Swinging and Changing. The decision he faces is whether he will drive or be demolished below him.”

Throughout his visit, Trump emphasized the points that directly reflect Israeli priorities. On Tuesday, he condemned Hamas’ attacks on October 7th, he called on Saudi Arabia to join Abraham’s agreements and warned Iran because of its nuclear ambitions. On Wednesday, he even expanded his initiative to normalize Syria.
When asked by Air Force One about the skipping of Israel, Trump said, “This is good for Israel. Having a relationship like I have with these countries … I think it’s very good.”
In Doha on Thursday Trump went on, stating, “I want to see [Gaza] be a zone of freedom. And if necessary, I think I would be proud of having the United States, take it, make it a zone of freedom. “
According to two Arab officials cited by the time of IsraelAmerican Special Envoy in the Middle East Steve Witkoff told the Dohoh mediators that Washington does not intend to press Israel to end the war in Gaza – aligning with the firm attitude of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
On Friday, President Trump asked in an interview with the main political anchorage of Fox News, Bret Baier, about a special report, whether he was frustrated by Netanyahu. Trump replied, “No, look, he has a difficult situation. You have to remember that on October 7, which they forget, it was one of the poorest days in the history of the world. Not in the Middle East, the world, when you look at ribbons. And the recordings are there that everyone can see.”

The reader published on Thursday by the State Department of Call between State Secretary Marc Rubio and Prime Minister Netanyahu also showed continuous support for the Jewish state.
“The Secretary emphasized the deep American commitment to his historic relationship with Israel and Ironclad US support to Israeli security,” adding “Secretary and Prime Minister talked about Syria after the historic meeting of President Trump with Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Saudi Arabia. The secretary and prime minister were also sure of their common equipment.”

The main political correspondent of Kanal 12 amit Segal told Fox News Digital: “There is an unpleasant experience from the Israeli perspective to see Air Force One fly over us to the road to the countries, some of which are directly hostile and the other semi-host. If you are not at the table, you are on the plate.”
“But this is not personal. It’s not about Netanyahu and Trump,” Segal added. “Trump has full support for Israel – but when American interests are first coming, he works accordingly. It’s the first America.”
Dan Senor, the host of the Podcast “He calls me back” and former State Department official, agreed that, despite the titles that suggest tension, politics tells a different story.
“There is always a noise in the press,” said Senor Dana Perino, associate of Fox News Channel. “American editorial staff. “ “But politics is very strong at the moment. We see the maximum pressure on Iran, without the public criticism of Israel – even when dozens of Israeli tanks are placed near Gaza.”

Trump says he will reject sanctions on Syria in the move to normalize relationships
“What I considered to be problematic in past administrations – especially under Obama – it was when private criticism became public,” Senor added. “It has given others the green light for the Gomil of Israel. This administration, even if it disagrees, does not broadcast. And that is most important.”
On Friday, in the contract that marked the month of Jewish heritage, Trump stated: “I believe there has never been a greater friend of the Jewish people than my administration. We will never deviate from our belief that anti -Semitism has no place in the world’s largest country. As we will bring out every friendly legal tool in my stop Ally, the state of Israel.
Tamir Haiman, former head of Israeli military intelligence and now director of the National Security Institute of Studies, said the Israeli government is afraid of being caught without fear.
“This is so strong that sometimes, without intent, it can throw a small player from the field – like a giant who spins and accidentally hits someone out of the shoulder,” Haiman told Fox News Digital.
However, he emphasized that the development is in Saudi ArabiaQatar and Syria are not inherently bad for Israel – unless the government acts.
“The missed opportunity here is huge,” he said. “There are two main levers that Israel had – Israeli consent to US weapons contracts with Saudi Arabia and US consent to abolish sanctions on Syria. Both could be used to improve key Israeli interests: normalization with Saudi Arabia and Ensuring the development of Syria The following is a non-Jihadist path. And we [Israel] lost both. “

Trump says the United States has given an Iran proposal for a nuclear agreement
The sense of urgency grew last week when Trump stopped suddenly at American air attacks on Iranian Houtites just days after the rocket landed near Ben Gurion Airport. Soon, Washington has given up the request for Israeli-Saudi normalization as a prerequisite for the Nuclear Pact of the USA-Seudi-Strateski goal that has long advocated Netanyahu.
Reuters later confirmed shift. In the meantime, Saudi officials have made it clear that progress in Palestinian issue remains a prerequisite for any nuclear agreement – something that is considered unlikely, while the war in Gaza continues.
“After the Saudi story, where we were thrown under the bus, I said we had to stop and explore,” Haiman said. “We should not just say that these are the president’s whimsicality. We have to ask ourselves,” What depends on us? What to change? “I’m not sure they do it.”
The sharpest potential breakup remains Iran. Jerusalem considers nuclearly armed tehran as an existential threat. Haiman calls this a “historical window” to stop it if necessary. “The American interest is to end wars, not to enter them and sealed the contract better than Obamina,” he said, warning that a diplomatic mark created over Israel could soon limit the Israeli military opportunities.

In Israel, the Gaza war still shares strategists about whether he will continue to press Hamas or stop the war because of work with hostages. Haiman called the current “fight, agreement, the fight against the” rhythm of “boiling of the frog”, but admits that without a job with hostages now, 21 living hostages may not survive.

Golov believes that it is time for Israel to stop reacting and starting to shape events. Called Jerusalem to trigger Washington to require it “Qatar has to stop Hamas funding, stop the incentive of Al Jazeere and pay the price to mix in Israel. “Israel, he claimed, has no impact that he does it himself.
“It must be anchored in the regional block – with Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan – it is said that they are equally terrified because of the re -development of the Muslim Brotherhood.” In order to get there, he said, Israel has to climb the wave that Trump has already started.
