At a rally in Georgia, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called him twice in the last two days, underscoring what he described as his unparalleled support for Israel. “Nobody’s done what I’ve done for Israel,” Trump declared when asked how he would support the country if re-elected president.
Trump pointed to several key decisions made during his administration, including moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a controversial move that fully recognized Jerusalem as Israelโs capital. He also cited his recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and his role in negotiating the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations for the first time.
However, Trump emphasized that his most significant policy in support of Israel was pulling out of the nuclear agreement with Iran, a deal strongly opposed by Netanyahu. The withdrawal was seen as a major shift in U.S. policy and a move that aligned closely with the Israeli government’s stance on Iran.
As Trump continues to campaign for another term in office, he has repeatedly highlighted his close relationship with Israel and Netanyahu, positioning himself as a steadfast ally of the country.
