The Jerusalem Post May 15, 2025 Despite skipping Israel, Trump signals strong support through Abraham Accords push
U.S. President Donald Trump stirred concerns over the past week over potentially dwindling support for Israel amid his Middle East tour, during which Israel is not a stopping point. His actions on this trip so far, however, prove that Israel is still on his mind.
Trump’s Middle East tour saw him meeting with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Lebanon, Syria, and the Palestinian Authority, which in turn was perceived by many an expert and analyst as a slight towards Israel. After all, the U.S.’s supposed greatest ally wasn’t even on the docket.
The news has been focusing primarily on Trump securing a $600 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to invest in the United States.
The U.S. agreed to sell Saudi Arabia an arms package worth nearly $142 billion in what the White House coined the “largest defense cooperation agreement” ever done by the U.S.
It has also been focusing on Trump’s desire to accept a $400 million airplane from Qatar to use as Air Force One and the recent opposition on both sides of the aisle in Congress.
However, on the sidelines of those same discussions and deliberations, Trump called for countries in the Middle East to join the Abraham Accords.
