Abstract

For decades, evangelicals have generally supported Republican candidates for being more religiously committed. This was reflected in the tremendous support Trump received in the 2016 election, which brought him to the White House. Trump’s success has raised serious concerns about the state of U.S. policy as well as America’s future role in the world. The study stems from concerns about U.S. foreign policy, accompanied by widespread controversy under President Donald Trump, particularly among those interested in the Palestinian issue, which was fuelled by the President’s shocking remarks and speeches. Although Arab leaders have agreed with Trump's explicit statements of preparation to fight ISIS, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains a public criticism. While Trump represents a series of contradictions, his close ties with Israel and the ‘deal of the century’ resolution have made Middle Eastern politics more complicated and have made it more difficult to find a just solution to the crisis. This paper discusses Trump’s new policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and his tendency to fuel contempt rather than compromise. The study attempts to analyse the position of the U.S. President Donald Trump in light of his special relationship with evangelicals and to understand its implications for future conflict prospects.
