The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Netanyahu is no friend the to the United States, and Trump's threat to leave Israel behind if it does not get with the program is the right move. Netanyahu is stoking the flames of regional conflict to advance his own political interests. Indeed, the United States has no interest in upholding Netanyahu's demands, which will only undermine Washington's position in the region.

Pro-Israel narrative

Though Trump, of course, stands with Israel and his people, the current trajectory he is pursuing in the region could significantly harm Israel and its interests. Trump is working to make a bad deal with Iran, exclude Israel from a deal with Saudi Arabia, and pushing to end the war in Gaza early, which could leave Hamas in a better position than it should be. Israel's leadership is working diligently to work with Trump and, hopefully, recent reports have been overly alarmist.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Regardless of Trump's relationship with Netanyahu, he is no friend of the Palestinian people and his administration is currently working to force the U.N. and international aid organizations into an Israeli-administered aid delivery system. Comments that Israel "is not involved" are ludicrous considering the plan Washington is presenting is nearly identical to Israel's. Indeed, Trump is still complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
