There is no guarantee that President Trump will give Prime Minister Netanyahu everything he wants.

The bar facing the US Embassy building in central Jerusalem is called Deja Vu. This is a witty reference to something you’ve had before.

And outside the gates of the US compound, Israel is eagerly awaiting a second Donald Trump.

Rabbi Rafael Shore, who lives in Jerusalem’s Old City, said he was “very happy.” “He understands Middle Eastern languages.

“Iran will think twice about everything it does. If Kamala had been elected, I don’t think there would have been as much of a threat of attacking the United States or Israel in the Middle East.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was among the first to congratulate the new president-elect on Wednesday morning. “Congratulations on the best comeback ever!” he tweeted.

Prime Minister Netanyahu previously called President Trump “the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House.”

President Trump previously scrapped the Iran nuclear deal, which Israel opposed, brokered historic normalization deals with several Arab countries, and recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, ending decades of U.S. It gained support here by overturning policies and international agreements.

Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren said President Donald Trump’s first term was “exemplary” as far as Israel was concerned.

“My hope is that he will reconsider that. (But) we have to have a very clear insight into who Donald Trump is and what he stands for. It must be done.”

First of all, the former president said he “doesn’t like” war because he thinks it’s expensive. President Trump called on Israel to quickly end the war in Gaza.

Ambassador Oren said he also “doesn’t really like” Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and opposes some Israeli leaders’ intentions to annex parts of them. That’s what it means.

Both of these policies could put the Prime Minister at odds with the far-right parties in Netanyahu’s current coalition, which have threatened to bring down his government if it pursues policies he rejects.

When asked to choose between the recent demands of his ally the United States and those of his coalition partners, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tended to choose the coalition.

As a result, friction with current US President Joe Biden has sharply increased.

Michael Oren believes Prime Minister Netanyahu needs to take a different approach to the next president.

“If Donald Trump took office in January and said, ‘Okay, we have a week to end this war,’ then Prime Minister Netanyahu would have to respect that.”

In Gaza, where Israeli forces continue to battle the Palestinian group Hamas, desperation among some residents has focused them on a single goal.

Mr. Trump “has made some strong promises,” Mr. Ahmed said. “I hope he can help and bring peace.”

Ahmed’s wife and son were both killed in the war, and his home was destroyed.

“Enough is enough, we are tired,” he said. “We hope that Mr. Trump will be strong and be able to resolve this issue with Israel.”

Mohamed Daoud, who was evacuated eight times during the Gaza conflict, said President Trump’s victory means the end of the war is near.

Another refugee, Mamdouh, said he didn’t care who won, he just wanted someone to help him.

“No medicine, no hospitals, no food. There’s nothing left in Gaza,” he said. “We want someone strong who will separate us from the Jews.”

In the occupied West Bank, home to the Palestinian Authority (PA), there is widespread skepticism about US influence, with many people on both sides of the political spectrum saying the US administration is on Israel’s side. I’m looking at it.

Sabri Saidam, a senior member of the main Palestinian faction Fatah, said: “Mediocre solutions at the expense of Palestinians or endless military support for Israel are only catalysts for future conflict.” .

“We want to see a new version of Trump, like Trump 2.0, who is serious about ending wars immediately and addressing the root causes of the Middle East conflict.”

Recent polls show that more than two-thirds of Israelis want Trump to return to the White House. But here too, there are those who are wary of his unpredictability and approach.

“He will make the situation here even more uncertain and dangerous,” said one Israeli woman. “I don’t believe he will keep the peace. I honestly think he will only make the war worse.”

Former Israeli ambassador Michael Oren believes that if Israel works with President Trump, it can achieve “immeasurable results,” including a potential historic peace deal with Saudi Arabia and curbing Iranian influence. He said there was.

But Netanyahu may find it more difficult to navigate the demands and compromises that come with these regional goals.

Since President Trump’s last term, the number of moderate voices around both leaders has diminished.

Many Israelis view President Trump’s first term as fond memories. However, the relationship may be radically different the second time around, and past performance does not guarantee future profits.
