Reporting from Jerusalem, I examine a question that has troubled Israeli minds: Has President Trump decided to pursue Middle East objectives apart from Israel's concerns? Recent developments have jolted Jerusalem--from Trump's apparent openness to allowing Iran's nuclear program to survive, to his unilateral ceasefire with the Houthis that doesn't protect Israel, to his upcoming Middle East trip skipping Israel while meeting with Palestinian and Syrian leadership. Headlines across Israel's political spectrum express deep concern: "Trump ditched Israel," "Trump sidelines Netanyahu," "US-Israel relations at a crossroads." Though US officials deny any rift, the evidence is mounting. I analyze what's behind this shift - Trump's hunger for Saudi investments and arms deals, his desire for a foreign policy victory before the election, and the Saudis' demands regarding Gaza and Palestinian statehood. However, as former IDF spokesman Doron Spielman suggests, this could be "tough love" pushing Israel toward strategic independence. Ultimately, Israel's hope must rest in God, not global alliances.
