With Trump’s return to office, some have high hopes for his relationship with Israel. But amid the Gaza war, will his policies help? Those arguing “yes” say Trump has given Israel unprecedented backing and would continue shifting U.S. policy in favor of Israeli sovereignty and security. Those arguing “no” are concerned that his policies would result in trouble for Gaza and make a two-state solution less feasible. Now we debate: Is Trump Good for Israel?
Arguing Yes: Einat Wilf, Former Member of Israeli "Knesset"; Co-author of "The War of Return"
Arguing No: Jeremy Ben-Ami, Founder and President of J Street
Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates
