Israelische Regierung zunehmend enttäuscht von Donald Trump

So hatte sich Benjamin Netanjahu die neue Amtszeit Trumps wohl kaum vorgestellt, aber zunehmend wird deutlich, dass "America First" auch für Israel gilt, egal ob das Atomverhandlungen mit dem Iran oder einen Waffenstillstand mit den Houthis einschließt, bei dem Israel ausgespart wurde.

Auf Ynet fassen sie zusammen, wie es gerade um die amerikanisch-israelischen Beziehungen bestellt ist:

Trump’s upcoming trip to the Middle East will focus on economic aspects, including major deals and investments aimed at strengthening long-term U.S. ties with Arab states. A visit to Israel is not currently planned, despite Israeli efforts — a signal, perhaps, of the new administration’s priorities. When President Obama began his first term, he visited Cairo and Istanbul but skipped Israel, a move widely seen as a poor start to bilateral relations. (…)

The “America First” doctrine is not inherently anti-Israel, but it is unequivocally pro-American interest. When the U.S. began airstrikes in Yemen, Vice President Vance opposed the move, arguing it wasn’t America’s problem. Israel’s interests, in this view, are not central to U.S. calculations — a troubling reality, especially regarding Iran.
The U.S. is racing toward a new nuclear agreement and has openly discussed allowing Iran access to nuclear energy.

Israel was notified about these negotiations only at the last minute and was stunned. Washington seemed to forget that Iran has deceived the world before, that it once plotted to assassinate Trump and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and that it remains the hub of the terror network it funds and directs. Israeli officials were also shocked when Trump revealed he had convinced Netanyahu not to attack Iran.

Jerusalem’s frustration with Trump’s conduct is increasingly hard to conceal. When Trump decided to halt attacks on the Houthis, Israel wasn’t even updated — it found out from the news. That move, many felt, went too far. The message to the region was clear: Israel is no longer a top U.S. priority. If both the Houthis and the Iranians can strike deals with Washington behind Israel’s back, it sends a dangerous signal that Israel is fair game.

This shift is also visible in Syria, where the U.S. is preparing to withdraw its forces; in Trump’s cozying up to Turkey’s President Erdogan, who continues to issue antisemitic threats unchecked; and in revived discussions about selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. In Saudi Arabia, Trump is promoting massive economic deals. Normalization with Israel is no longer a central goal — perhaps because Trump knows Netanyahu isn’t rushing to end the war in Gaza or consider any formula hinting at a two-state solution, the bare minimum for Riyadh. Trump’s much-discussed Gaza relocation plan has also been shelved.
