Shlomo Shamir argues in a sharp opinion piece that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president for Israel in the history of bilateral relations, despite his pompous declarations of friendship. According to Shamir, Trump interprets friendship as he understands it, and works to turn Israel into an American colony in the Middle East. He quotes senior figures in the New York Jewish community who claim that Trump disregards Israeli interests and reduces Israel's status to an American constituency. Shamir harshly criticizes the leaders of Israel's parties, both in the coalition and the opposition, for their complete disregard of the issue in the current election campaign. He notes that opposition leaders attack Netanyahu for every failure, but not for his obsessive clinging to Trump. The article also refers to expected changes in Washington, including the loss of the Republican majority in Congress, which could leave Israel without a political safety net.
