If the Reuters report is accurate and Donald Trump is no longer making normalization with Israel a condition for the US supporting a civilian nuclear program in Saudi Arabia, this would prove what many fear: Trump has thrown Israel under the bus.

But this report doesn’t come out of nowhere. It fits into a series of American moves that have shaken Israel in recent months—whether it’s the secret dialogue with Iran, the US announcement of an agreement with the Houthis that Israel only learned about through the media, the omission of Israel from Trump’s upcoming Middle East trip, the warm relations with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at Israel’s expense, the planned withdrawal from Syria, and much more.

    I’m trying to access the rest of the article but can’t, Evan after I log in.
    Please fix.

    If Trump abandons Israel, America will perish.
