Did Trump Sell Out Israel to China and Russia?

Praise for Adversaries, Scorn for Allies

During his remarks, Trump expressed profound gratitude that Beijing and Moscow refrained from direct military intervention or supplying advanced anti-aircraft missiles to the Iranian military. This lavish praise stood in sharp contrast to Trump’s scathing assessment of traditional Western allies, whom he fiercely criticized for failing to support the U.S. military campaign or assist in securing the blocked Strait of Hormuz. The President's warm rhetoric toward Russia and China directly contradicts long-standing U.S. intelligence assessments, which have repeatedly shown that Chinese firms continue to supply military-grade equipment to Tehran and purchase sanctioned Iranian oil.

Jerusalem Fears American Capitulation

In Israel, the diplomatic realignment has been met with growing alarm and dismay. Senior defense officials and political observers view the development as a dangerous American capitulation that completely disregards Israel's long-term security needs. Critics argue that Washington has accepted a superficial illusion of peace rubber-stamped by its primary global adversaries, leaving Iran's vast regional proxy networks and nuclear capabilities largely untouched.

While the Chinese Embassy in Washington asserted it "works tirelessly for peace," Jerusalem increasingly fears it has been left to confront an existential threat entirely alone.
