TO Understanding how disastrous is the international vision of the US president for European security, he must look beyond the usual approach in the transatlantic relationship and consider the essential role played by the Middle East in his vision.
The only ally of the United States of Donald Trump is not the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) and its members, nor the Ukraine Resilient; It is undoubtedly Israel, Bajo Benjamin Netanyahu, with whom the president of the United States shares the same illiberal creed and disdain for multilatery.

To this end, the US President appointed Steve Witkoff, his business partner and golf, as his special envoy in these two issues.
A solid and performed triangle
Trump’s triangular relationship with Russian president and Israeli prime minister dates back to his first term in office. At that time, the US President repeatedly violated international law for the benefit of Netyahu, since its December 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (including its eastern part, which was occupied in half a century of supervase until March 2019, which are also occupied.
The Israeli prime minister, meanwhile, was next to Putin for the Victory Day Parade of Russia in the Red Square of Moscow, in May 2018. Netanyahu was an effective consumption convinced that only the Russian presence in Syria could limit the influence of Iran there. For Israeli leaders, the dictatorship of the Assad family had seemed for a long time to be a minor evil, even if only because the high fire was respected in the occupied golan heights.
Since then, Netanyahu has continued to accommodate Putin by rejecting any military assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022, and letting its “Zionist Christians” allies in the United States Block US24.
