Donald Trump's second term comes a year after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Since then, the Israeli army has carried out a policy of methodical destruction of the Gaza Strip, more than 43,000 Palestinians have died and an agreement to obtain a ceasefire seems out of reach.
During his electoral campaign, Donald Trump's program and statements remained quite vague regarding his vision of the Middle East. However, the policy pursued during his first term (2017-2021) provides elements to understand the diplomatic policy he could pursue there.
Long-time allies of Israel, the United States is used to providing unfailing support to the Jewish state. This was particularly the case during Trump's first term, to the detriment of Palestinian interests. The aid of several million dollars provided by the United States to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, was thus eliminated, before being restored by Joe Biden.
