US President Donald Trump has praised Israel as a “great ally” of the United States, reaffirming Washington’s close ties with the country despite growing international criticism over the Gaza war.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said that “whether people love Israel or not, it has proven to be a great ally of the United States,” highlighting what he described as Israel’s loyalty and steadfast support for Washington in times of conflict. He has repeatedly cast Israel as one of America’s most reliable partners, contrasting it with unnamed states he claims have been less dependable.
Trump’s remarks come as his administration continues to align itself closely with Israel on security and regional policy, including support for Israeli military operations and efforts to expand normalization with Arab states. Analysts say the latest comments are likely to further cement his image as one of Israel’s most supportive presidents, while deepening divisions at home and abroad over US policy in the Middle East.
