Trump Decouples U.S. Middle East Policy From Israel’s Interests

Over the last weeks U.S. President Donald Trump has broken links between U.S. foreign policy issues in the Middle East and considerations for Israel's interest.

Last month the prime minister of the 'Zionist entity' Benjamin Mileikowsky Netanyahoo visited Washington DC to push Trump towards bombing Iran's nuclear installations. Trump instead announced new talks with Iran. Netanyahoo's attempt had failed:

U.S. President Donald Trump blindsided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month with a gamble on immediately opening negotiations with Iran.

The pivot to negotiations with Iran in April was a shock for Netanyahu, who had flown to Washington seeking Trump's backing for military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and learned less than 24 hours before a joint White House press event that U.S. talks with Iran were starting within days, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Next came the Trump pivot on Yemen about which Netanyahoo had not been informed:

Barak Ravid, a political analyst for the Zionist media outlet ‘Walla’, said that Trump's agreement with Yemen has severely constrained Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ron Dermer, a close advisor to Netanyahu.

Pointing out that Trump has bypassed the Zionist regime by reaching an agreement on a ceasefire with Yemen's Ansarallah, he stated it seems that Israel's ability to influence the US-Iran negotiations to reach a new nuclear agreement has so far been very restricted.

The senior Israeli official said that he knew nothing about Trump's decision. “Trump surprised us," he added.

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday evening during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the White House that Yemen's Ansarullah announced that they will no longer fight against the United States, and the United States will also stop its attacks on Yemen.

Today we learn that the U.S. is willing to help Saudi Arabia with a civil nuclear program without requiring Saudi normalization with Israel:

The United States is no longer demanding Saudi Arabia normalise ties with Israel as a condition for progress on civil nuclear cooperation talks, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's visit next week.

Dropping the demand that Saudi Arabia establish diplomatic relations with Israel would be a major concession by Washington. Under former President Joe Biden, nuclear talks were an element of a wider U.S.-Saudi deal tied to normalisation and to Riyadh's goal of a defence treaty with Washington.

The change in policies towards Iran, Yemen and Saudi Arabia were surprising. The Israelis clearly expected to have a veto, or at least a say, in all three issues.

This is a fundamental change in U.S. policy. It is not conceivable that a president Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would have shunned Netanyahoo on three of such important issues.

The change comes while Trump fired his national security advisor Mike Waltz for having too 'intensive contacts' with Natanyahoo's office. He had also called off strikes against Iran which Israel and Waltz had been planning.

Netanyahoo's manipulative behavior is likely the reason for these changes:

US President Donald Trump has decided to cut off direct contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a report said Thursday.

Yanir Cozin, a correspondent for Israeli Army Radio, said in a post on his X account that Trump made the decision after close associates told Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer that the president believes that Netanyahu is manipulating him.

An Israeli official added that Dermer’s tone during recent discussions with senior Republican figures about what Trump should do was seen as arrogant and unhelpful.

The official said that people around Trump told him that "Netanyahu was manipulating him."

"There is nothing Trump hates more than being portrayed as a fool or someone being played. That’s why he decided to cut contact with Netanyahu," the official added.

Yesterday Ron Dermer visited the White House:

President Trump met Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, a close confidant of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday and discussed the nuclear talks with Iran and the war in Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the meeting.

Dermer met Wednesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and expressed the Israeli concerns, a source with knowledge said.

On Thursday Dermer had several meetings in the White House including one with Trump. Vice President Vance, Rubio and White House envoy Steve Witkoff also attended the meeting, according to one source. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump met Dermer and said it was a "private meeting."

The following report is likely based on those talks:

US President Donald Trump is disappointed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom reports, citing two “senior sources close to the president.”

According to the Hebrew-language daily, in closed-door conversations Trump said he was going to make progress on his objectives in the Middle East without waiting for Israel.

On a deal with Saudi Arabia, Trump wants Israel to be a central part of an agreement, but “Netanyahu is delaying making the necessary decisions,” writes Israel Hayom’s Ariel Kahana, who interviewed Trump at Mar-A-Lago last year.

Trump is also still upset with Netanyahu and his circle over what he sees as an attempt to push the White House into military action against Iran’s nuclear program, say the sources.

It is not clear how far the apparent break between Israel's wishes and Trump's policies will go.

Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris – 7:21 AM · May 9, 2025

When Biden was in office, the Western and Israeli media reported over and over again that Biden was ‘frustrated’ with Netanyahu, but Biden continued to arm Israel to the teeth and took no concrete action to end the genocide.

We’re now being treated to this same Kabuki theatre by the Trump administration.

I am more optimistic on this. Even while Biden was claiming to be frustrated by Netanyahoo he did not change U.S. foreign policy to a less Israel friendly direction.

Trump has now done so on three occasions. This may thus well be much more than political theater.

We can only hope that he will use this new freedom to press for an end of the war on Palestine.

There are signs that it is happening:

NEW: Trump May Announce Gaza Deal With Minimal Israeli Input, Says Israeli Report

A new report from Israel Hayom says U.S. President Donald Trump may unveil a sweeping Gaza agreement by the end of this week—one developed with deep American involvement but only partial Israeli participation. The deal is said to include provisions for ending the war, rebuilding Gaza, and redefining control of the Strip—potentially over Israel’s objections.  …

It would be deeply ironic but sometimes in times of change it may need a steer in a china shop to move something. Glad the Israelis found someone equally arrogant.

It has been said:

IF it sounds too good to be true THEN it probably is too good to be true

I have written that DT could be the worst US president ever and be guilty of Nuremberg-level war crimes if he arms Israel enabling Israel to attempt genocide in Gaza OR he could become the greatest US president ever if he stops the vile carnage in Palestine.
Too late already OR could it happen now? Could DT apologise, cut off arms to Israel completely = save himself? rgds

Red Letter Day!
I echo your optimism b but am prepared that unless he finally walks the Talk – this administration’s honeymoon period will end in the usual dysfunctional imperialist death throes
Victory Day in Moscow WITHOUT the unreliable ‘partners’ of WW2, U.K. and USA.
With the fellow target of the ziofascist collective wests never ending Great Game to take EurAsia, Chinas Xi.
Without also their other satrap giant Humpty Dumpties – Modi and Erdogan.
A very handily timed ‘open warfare’ in the subcontinent as an excuse for the former.
No idea what the latters ‘washing hair day’ is?
It can seem the pantomime villain role has to be taken by Nutty!
Maybe an attempt to hang onto the gains of the illegal apartheid entity in the Levant and Syria now.
The idea that a ‘private’ meeting can take place in the WH! And the message of that is ‘leaked’ by the participants – when it has been recently reiterated about ‘confidentiality’ of such high level discussions – strikes as odd.
Drumpff just got a win – the American Pope!
(Which means the African Christianity is being left in the hands of the Protestant wing)
The New Papa having been long chosen, trained and placed in authoritarian roles in the Vatican as the Conciglieri of Choice.
A son of the Gangsters of Chicago – ziocentral in the US – the Collective Waste is casting off and recentering itself wholly in North America and what will remain of the 5+1 Eyed unipolar century.
I’d like to believe it’s a real u-turn, a discovery of a reverse gear.
It seems like clear blue water begining to flow into a seemingly widening crack in the ziofascist imperiums superstructure.
As long as it’s not all it is! A crack that will not lead to an actual break.
Just a deflection from the lack of a seat at the New Yalta in Moscow right this minute!
DJT could have invited himself for a visit without making it about himself.
Who or How could he have been stopped from making such a decisive leadership move?
Only the Old Global Robber Barons and their praetorians. The fascist dynastic owners. Those shapeshifters.

I agree it may be Trump’s ego but does he have the agency to do it for himself?
There is likely tacit approval as the stench of an American genocide is staining The Shining City
The longer this goes on the worse it will be for JUSA and cabal
Too many incidents to name have shown Israelis for the obnoxious power drunk psychopaths they are. The anti genocide crowd is really bringing out the worst Zionist behaviour caught on tape.
Israelis are being shunned and kicked out of restaurants all around the world and they are being called out in public in spite of dystopian lawfare.
Ordinary people are chasing Israeli dignitaries and calling them genociders.
Perhaps the Owners want the extermination to die down for a while and wait for the next mowing.

Team Trump needs to focus dwindling military resources for Taiwan and Ukraine.

Reads to me like Trump is pretending to distance himself from netanyahu just as the worst of the genocide in Gaza happens – during the starvation.
That means he can pretend he has no influence over Netanyahu right now – and no responsibility.
This ain’t good news – this is a disaster for humanity. And Trump is washing his hands of it.

Has Trump truly delinked his Yemen policy from Israel? Have the Houthis launched missiles at Israel since this deal has been announced? Until that happens, we won’t know if protecting Israel was an unofficial part of the deal.

Trump plays good cop and bad cop all in one person. One moment being your friend next moment being your enemy. He’s been doing the same with everyone so far: Zelensky, Putin, Netanyahu, now Xi Jinping with the latest news about him seeking his help on Ukraine while planning war against China within his administration. It’s another way to get a lot of attention which is mainly what he want. He gives with one hand takes with the other. In then end it leads to be see as being untrustworthy especially combined with his lies and exaggerations. Eventually he will be seen to be purely duplicitous and like Biden speaking with a forked tongue.

It would not be the first time US/Israel put on a show for the masses as part of their proven always vile schemes. (even if DT is mad at his Israeli counterpart as the media are spreading, that is not going to change US long standing interests and goals nor in any way affect US/Israel unity because they are one. Also, anger comes, and goes. Especially with characters like DT who is not a politician but a cowboy bandit in whose world everyone else is an Indian).
In any case, the Trumpians will not, and can not, change US strategic goals in the Middle East, as is evident by their actions in the first 100 days. (the world has to endure four years of this terror). Some tactical moves are to be expected.
The Trumpians can not come up with any kind of “peace deal” for Gaza that could be good for Gaza and the Palestinian cause, not only because the US has long-term strategic goals in the region regardless of administration, but because they are hardline Zionists openly advocating the erasure of the Palestinians one way or another and the establishment of Greater Israel in which Gaza is a boon for developers and a future tourist resort
Actions are important. Words mean something only coming from demonstrably responsible, reliable and trustworthy officials.

I’m not as optimistic, though I can understand why anyone would back off of Iran, which has been consistently taking the “high road” (and With Strength! Ha!). With Gaza, perhaps even Trump’s stomach for violence has been turned one time too many.
I’ve seen some details of his program for Gaza on X, better than earlier versions, but still far short .. don’t yet know what Gazans. If they are still steadfast, they won’t agree to it. If they are flailing, they might just cave. I suspect it is aimed at de-escalation back to the status quo of October 6th, supported by most of the Arab vassal states as well, a “compromise” similar to the compromises once settled in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Not a word about the increased escalations of apartheid walls & fences, violence & destruction activity in the West Bank camps either. Nor the Occupation of Lebanon. Or Syria. Just “freeze” it in a de-escalated position, gain time for everyone to forget.
Until the next time.
Thing is, Netanyahu needs continued war to keep his power, the more fronts the better.

All that shit remind me the Engineer and the manager joke :
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man below says: “Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude.”
“You must be an engineer,” says the balloonist.
“I am,” replies the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” says the balloonist, “everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost.
“The man below says, “You must be a manager.”
“I am,” replies the balloonist, “but how did you know?”
“Well,” says the man, “you don’t know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.”

It’s a trap!!! Don’t be so sure. This is a classic bait-and-switch tactics they usually employed to allow some breathing space while the main sh*t’s about to go down. It’s meant to fool the opponent into a false sense of security and complacency. The settler colonial project is the glue that binds the Western elite together and they’re not dumping it anytime soon. Every now and they have these fake blow-outs(eg: Trump’s EU tariff) to throw their enemies off balance.

I do not believe the “leaks” at all. Trump is frustrated by the Houthis. Hamas and Hezbollah resist
superior technology and military yet refuse to be defeated. This is causing serious consternation at the Pentagon re Iran not because there is any disconnect between Trump and Bibi but because of war game simulations and planning. Trump needs some domestic cover and media headlines for the genocide and unwinnable wars. He is presented as a maverick that he is not. He lacks agency to a great extent despite his circus acts and media headline creations.

Donald Trump appears to be a man who’s prepared to ride the Tsunami of Zionist arrogance , and survive. I take back my rude comments about the man, unreservedly. My Full Apology. Eat crow, in US vocabulary.

I would have thought the issue is that Trump allows his personal interests to override even his commitment to Israel. He makes a deal with Yemen because he doesn’t want Yemeni missiles up his backside while he’s nearby in Saudi. He doesn’t go along with Netanyahu’s desire to attack Iran, because, while’s he’s being heavily advised against participation by the military, he actually doesn’t want all the hassle from an attack that could turn into a long war. As for Gaza, he hasn’t actually gone against Netanyahu’s plan.

Posted by: laguerre | May 9 2025 11:32 utc | 22

I don’t believe for a minutes that Trump cares about life, morals or law. He just hates getting nothing out of a deal so no more free lunches for Israel. As he is also wont to use any leverage he can the Zionists are a fairly easy target right now for a shakedown. He may well intend to take Gaz-al-Lago off their hands as evidenced by the plan to put it under US stewardship with paid “food aid”

When at war with an entrenched gang, you gotta pick your fights carefully. Getting some of the gangsters to believe you’re on their side in an internal struggle can help (divide and conquer doesn’t just work against the plebes). It is clearly a very complex faction fight in the imperial leadership, with lots of competing interests. Trump’s biggest fight is still against the imperial Establishment in the US (mass media, academia, Deep State, and their foolish TDS brain-damaged culture war shock troops).
I think Trump is trying to demonstrate to the zionists that their hand (using Trump’s card game analogy) is not as strong as they think it is, and if they don’t want to lose it all they will have to rein in their attack dogs in the Jew-controlled mass media and in academia and show him and his program a little respect. Trump may be trying to show that he can screw the zionists really hard (grab them by the pussy, perhaps?) if they don’t start playing ball with his domestic efforts. If the mass media backs off on pumping up the Trump hysteria then we will know they got the message and we can expect Trump to put on his super-zionist masque again.
I doubt this will work out so cleanly, though, since the zionists have a lot at stake in the culture war going on in the West. Victim culture is a key element of Jewish identity, and promoting it as a replacement for traditional honor culture is part of their very long term program to shackle the masses with internalized chains. Their point is to update the old Xtian “the meek shall inherit dirt” and “give unto Bill Gates what is Bill Gates'” subservience since old-school religion is losing influence in the West. This programming update has some bad side effects that has some of the oligarchy seriously concerned, though, such as falling birth rates among the masses. Sure, some of the oligarchy want to see global populations drop to a billion, or better yet half a billion, but the rest are a little more realistic in their understanding of what that would mean in the real world, and how the current approach could achieve that.
I think the zionists will continue to try and manipulate Trump (they’re Jews, after all. Like the scorpion’s nature, it’s what they do) by stroking his ego, but Trump may not be fooled if he doesn’t see immediate and concrete changes in their stance in America’s internal culture war.
“That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.”

Has Trump stopped or even lessened the flow of US armaments and dollars to the Zionist entity? That’s all that really matters.
Otherwise all we have is some personal pique (Trump expects deference from everyone) and some disagreement over whether Jewish settlements or a Trump casino should be built over the corpses of 2.2 million Gazans.

It’s also about not bailing out foreign countries when they step in shit, let them figure it out.

Understatement of the year. But let’s steelman your argument and say Netanyahu can order the NYT to call off the dogs. Ezra Klein and Bret Stephens won’t be elated, they’ll be shocked. International Jews (aka globalists) depend on neoliberal media and governing structures for basic jobs, never mind group security. American Jews specifically are being asked to choose between their support for Israel and the basic foundation of “international law.” If anything, making them support President Trump will make them -more- likely to renounce Zionism. Not out of any true virtue, but merely to keep justifying their employment.
