Trump's New Strategy: A "Green Light" for Israel?

The Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy signals a major change in US Middle East policy. While Israeli media noted Israel is mentioned only six times, experts say the real impact is profound. The strategy shifts the US focus from regional diplomacy to direct confrontation with Iran and its allies. This approach, experts say, effectively gives Israel a "green light" to act more independently against threats like Hezbollah and Iran. The document also ends US support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It removes all references to Palestinian statehood, aligning with the current Israeli government's position. Analysts conclude the strategy reduces US pressure on Israel, allowing it to set its own security and diplomatic priorities. This marks a decisive break from previous American policies in the region.
