THE election of a new president in the US is always a moment of international significance, given the role the US plays on the world stage.
The presidential election of 2024 has been described as “the most consequential in a generation,” and there is no doubt that the re-election of Donald Trump will have profound international repercussions.
In relation to the ongoing Israeli action in the Middle East, in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran, Trump has made clear his unswerving support for Benjamin Netanyahu and the ongoing incursions by the IDF, resulting in thousands of deaths over the past year. Trump’s election victory was greeted enthusiastically by Netanyahu and his supporters in Tel Aviv.
