Résumé:
During the Trump Administration, the United States took a more pro-Israel stance in regard to the Palestinian cause. President Trump and his administration were seen as strongly supportive of “Israel”, and took several steps that were seen as favouring “Israel” over the Palestinians. One of the most notable moves was the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of “Israel” and the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This was viewed as a significant departure from previous US policy and a clear demonstration of the administration's pro-“Israel” stance. Additionally, the Trump Administration cut off aid to the Palestinian Authority, and ended funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides aid to Palestinian refugees. These actions appeared to be an attempt to pressure the Palestinians into making concessions in peace negotiations with “Israel”. While the Trump Administration took a pro-“Israel” stance, it did make attempts at mediating between the Israelis and Palestinians. The administration released a peace plan, known as the "Deal of the Century," which aimed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, the plan was widely criticized by Palestinians and was seen as heavily favouring “Israel”. Overall, during the Trump Administration, the United States was perceived more as a party in support of “Israel” than as an impartial mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
