Trump has previously said in public that Israel should “finish” its war in Gaza.
On the other hand, the former president has also often appeared as an ally of Israel. During his tenure as president, Trump, among other things, moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The decision to move the embassy enraged the Palestinians, but was to the liking of the Israelis.
In addition, Trump has emphasized his role in bringing about the Abraham agreements between Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Israel. The agreements concluded in 2020 normalize the countries’ relations with Israel.
The agreements have been considered historic, as several Arab countries have refused to cooperate with Israel citing the occupation of Palestine.
– During my first term, we had peace and stability – we even signed the historic Abraham agreements. And we will make peace again, Trump enthuses on Tuesday in his Truth Social message.
