What's Next for Trump On Israel?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Trump also told visiting senior Israeli officials last October he wanted a ceasefire on the Israeli-Lebanese front and expressed support for the Biden administration's efforts in this regard.
57% : In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Mark Dubowitz and Reuel Marc Gerecht of the "Foundation for Defense of Democracies" (which acts as a mouthpiece for the Netenyahu government), cite the strong opposition to war with Iran within the MAGA movement.
49% : Last October, reports revealed that Trump delivered a clear message to Netanyahu that he wanted the war on Gaza to end before he took office, if he won the election.
46% : Trump even dispatched his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to coerce Netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire in Gaza prior to the inauguration.
42% : During his inauguration speech Trump emphasized his ambitions to go down in history as a peacemaker, and that success will be defined by not getting involved in wars.
42% : Even more hawkish officials in Trump 2.0 have hinted at the possibility of reaching a deal with Iran.
40% : There are signs this may not necessarily be the case of Trump 2.0, notwithstanding the track records of some of his appointees.
33% : Recent commentary by prominent pro-Israeli voices appears to confirm that all hope is lost that Trump will conduct military operations against Iran.
27% : Dubowitz and Gerecht however appear to resort to a plan B, calling on Trump to support Israeli military action against Iran if "hard-line diplomacy" with Tehran fails.
25% : At the same time Trump fired his former Iran envoy Brian Hook, who was a strong advocate of the "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran.
23% : Because of these risks, Trump may yet oppose an Israeli offensive against Iran.
14% : Recent polls revealed that U.S. support for Israel in its war on Gaza led to Kamala Harris' loss in the presidential race against Trump.
