In the Middle East, Trump’s victory gives Benjamin Netanyahu the moment he was waiting for

Published on November 6, 2024 at 3:12 p.m. / Modified on November 6, 2024 at 3:13 p.m.

  • The personal relationship between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu has had its ups and downs in recent years

  • During his first term, Donald Trump increased his “largesse” towards Israel

  • The Jewish state could benefit from Trump’s return to Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.

“Congratulations on the greatest comeback in history!” It was a “huge victory” that Benjamin Netanyahu hailed on Wednesday, barely before Donald Trump claimed victory. In reality, it is common knowledge: the two men, from a personal point of view, hardly like each other. But just like the American billionaire, the Israeli prime minister is particularly comfortable in so-called “transactional” politics. It is this policy of “give and take” which notably allowed him, internally, to stay in power for so long, by building heterogeneous extremist coalitions in order to protect himself from the legal threats weighing on him. .
