Trump's second term is both a challenge and an opportunity for Israeli-American relations. Israel must carefully calibrate its relationship with the new-old president and his team, evaluating what expectations and demands of Trump are realistic and what price Israel will likely have to pay to meet his priorities. Trump expects Israel to play along with his priorities, particularly regarding a Saudi deal, and Israel will have to swallow some bitter pills to facilitate this. In return, Israel can expect support from Trump on issues closer to home, such as asserting sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria and pushing back against international organizations that are critical of Israel. Israel's top policy priority is forcing Iran off its nuclear weapon and regional hegemonic drives, and it needs Trump administration support and cooperation for this.
