For most of the last forty+ years, the Republican Party has long been a strong supporter of Israel, emphasizing the importance of a secure and thriving Jewish state in the Middle East. It was not like that in the years before Ronald Reagan. This alliance is built on shared democratic values, mutual security interests, and a commitment to countering regional threats. The party consistently backs Israel’s right to defend itself against hostile forces, particularly in light of growing tensions with Iran and extremist groups.

The upcoming Trump administration is poised to continue this pro-Israel stance, but on a completely different level, with a focus on enhancing U.S.-Israel cooperation. Many expect the 2nd stage of the Abraham Accords to bring Israel into a state of peace with Saudi Arabia too. The administration will likely prioritize strengthening Israel’s security, supporting its defense initiatives, and opposing international efforts to delegitimize the country. With a clear commitment to Israel’s sovereignty and security, the Trump administration aims to ensure that Israel remains a strong, independent force in the region.
In addition to military support, the administration is expected to pursue policies that promote peace and stability in the Middle East, including combating Iranian influence and bolstering regional partnerships. The recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the Abraham Accords are key examples of the Trump administration’s dedication to advancing Israel’s interests while fostering broader regional stability.
