Where does Donald Trump stand on Israel, Palestine and the Middle East?

The results are still being counted, but if the projection's are anything to go by, and Donald Trump wins the 2024 US presidential election, he could radically shake up US foreign policy in his second term.

Trump had made it abundantly clear on the campaign trail that he believed US foreign policy needed fundamental changes, four years after his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

"We have been treated so badly, mostly by allies," Trump told a rally in Wisconsin in September. "Our allies treat us actually worse than our so-called enemies.

"On military, we protect them and then they screw us on trade. We’re not going to let it happen anymore. We’re going to be a tariff nation," he added. 

It was a stunning admission, but neither surprising or new.

Presidents have wide latitude on foreign policy and can enter or nix many international agreements unilaterally.

His comments in Wisconsin came days before he went to the other crucial swing state of Michigan and visited the predominantly Arab city of Hamtramck - where he met with the town's Yemeni-Muslim mayor, Amer Ghalib.

The visit, not to mention Ghalib's official endorsement of Trump, would have been unthinkable in the 2020 or 2016 elections when the majority of American Muslims voted for the Democrat Party.

But Israel's war on Gaza, and the Biden administration's full support of Israel's war efforts, allowed Trump to paint himself as the better alternative to Muslim and Arab voters outraged over the carnage.
