The Middle East policy of the Trump administration is
The Trump administration of the United States has consistently adopted a policy of defending Israel since the inauguration of the administration, and has been pushing the containment policy with pressure on Iran, which Israel views as an enemy.

November last year he announced that Israeli settlement activities on the west bank of the Jordan River would not be considered a violation of international law. The United States has overturned the policies that have remained stable for 40 years.
