In late July, Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington seeking American solidarity as Israel's conflict with Iran ground on — only to find a White House more guarded than welcoming.

Weakening US-Israel alignment on Iran policy. Trump prioritizes domestic concerns over Middle East commitments, reducing Netanyahu's leverage. Iran gains relative advantage as US commitment becomes conditional. Regional allies (Saudi Arabia, UAE) face uncertainty about US security guarantees.
Similar to 1973 Yom Kippur War when US support for Israel wavered during détente with USSR, creating strategic vulnerability for Israel and emboldening adversaries.
