FreeinTX has good reasoning to back up what he says about Trump, despite Trump's earlier support.
Why Is Trump Bypassing Israel
"Trump's recent moves to bypass Netanyahu's government demonstrate how the "America First" policy comes at Israel's expense. The most striking example is America negotiating directly with Hamas for a hostage release without Israel's involvement. Other actions that disturbed Netanyahu include successful unilateral ceasefire talks with Yemen's Houthis and conducting nuclear negotiations with Iran independently.
Trump won't miss opportunities for domestic political gains, dealing with any actor who can deliver results. Unlike presidents who shaped Middle East policy through an Israel-first lens, Trump operates differently. While taking strongly pro-Israel steps like recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, he believed he could resolve the Israel-Palestine issue through the Abraham Accords and "Deal of the Century."
From Trump's perspective: He's given Israel and Evangelical supporters everything they wanted - now he expects political returns. For presidents like Biden, supporting Israel is both strategic necessity and ideological imperative. For Trump? No tangible benefit means no justification for support."
