Politicians of occupying Israel started congratulating Donald Trump after he became the President of the United States. However, the Biden-Harris administration has given more than $17 billion in aid to Israel in the ongoing Gaza war. Despite this, the Israelis 'celebrated' the defeat of Kamala Harris against Trump.

Because Trump is the most pro-Israel US president in history. Trump himself has made such a claim.

Trump previously became president for the first time in 2016. At that time, he did a lot of work against Palestine on behalf of Israel.

During his first rule, Israel seized a record amount of land in the occupied Palestinian West Bank. Despite illegally occupying Palestinian territories, Trump and his administration have not said anything about it.

In addition, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2018. The United States opened its embassy in Jerusalem that year. The ordinary Palestinians protested against such a decision of the Americans. At that time, 58 Palestinians were brutally killed on the Gaza border. Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump attended the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. Palestinians were giving their blood while Ivanka was opening the embassy with a smile.

Although the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the majority of East Jerusalem residents are Palestinians and dream of Jerusalem as the capital of an independent Palestine.

In addition, Trump recognized the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel in 2018. Which is illegal under international law.

During his first term as president, Trump withdrew the United States from the United Nations Humanitarian Council and cut US aid to the Palestinians.
