Will Trump's Ego Save the Remaining Palestinians?

According to numerous sources, major developments in U.S.-Israeli relations have taken place over the past several days. If reports from Israeli and other media outlets are right, then President Donald Trump has decided to cut off communications with Netanyahu. As the evidence below suggests, the Trump administration has taken a veritable volte-face where Israel is concerned.

Trump’s apparent irritation and humiliation over being “manipulated” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, or the appearance of having been manipulated, may have reached a threshold. Have the objections raised by recently disaffected Trump supporters finally reached the president and caused him to change course from MIGA to MAGA? Has Trump finally slipped his Israeli dog collar on purpose?

This development, if true, may be connected to Trump’s demotion of Mike Waltz from national security advisor to ambassador to the United Nations—owing to suspicions that Waltz had been communicating with Netanyahu behind Trump’s back and urging the administration to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities against Trump’s wishes. Philip Giraldi, executive director of the Council for the National Interest, has even suggested that Waltz’s activities may rise to the level of espionage.

Further, Trump’s planned trip to the Middle East this coming week will not include a stop in Israel but will include visits with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. With Saudi Arabia, Trump will reportedly decouple talks on civil nuclear cooperation from demands that Saudi Arabia normalize relations with Israel and recognize the rogue state.

Additionally, according to Channel 7/Israeli National News, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cancelled his planned trip to Israel so that he can join Trump in meetings in the region. Such snubbing of Israel can hardly be considered meaningless.

Further, a report from Haaretz suggests that the Trump administration is pressuring Israel to sign a truce agreement in advance of his Middle East trip while threatening to abandon Israel in its ongoing slaughter and starvation of the Palestinians in Gaza.

Meanwhile, Haaretz also reported that Trump has ordered aid to the Palestinians in Gaza, citing a hunger crisis that Israeli officials have either denied, encouraged, and/or celebrated.

All this follows on the heels of the U.S. having negotiated a cease-fire agreement with the Houthis in Yemen without Israeli involvement and reports that the Trump administration will hold or has already held exclusive talks with Iran over its nuclear facilities to the surprise of the Israelis.

And the coup de grâce: on May 10, The Jerusalem Post reported that Trump would announce U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, although the outlet has since changed its headline.

If he recognizes the Palestinian state and abandons Israel to its own devices, then Trump will be hailed as one of the greatest diplomatic U.S. presidents of all time. He would finally allow Americans to escape Israeli/Jewish “elite” control over U.S. foreign and domestic policy, a grip that has only tightened since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The recent statements and reports are a far cry from Trump’s plan for a “Riviera on the Mediterranean” and are at odds with the recently announced Israeli plans to completely destroy and seize Gaza and drive its remaining and famished residents to other countries.

While the sheer number of reports suggests that major changes are afoot in the Trump administration’s attitude and policies toward Israel, it would be foolish to take them entirely at face value. We’ve seen wild vacillations in Trump’s rhetoric before. And if the 5-D chess believers are right, the new rhetoric may represent mere tactical maneuvers to move Israel in a direction that Trump has in mind.

And a psyop should not be dismissed out of hand. The psyop would give the appearance of U.S. pushback on Israel, prior to another Israeli false flag that would drag the U.S. into further conflicts in the region. Let’s hope and pray that we are not the ones being manipulated and that Trump is really changing course.
