Başkan Trump’ın İsrail-Filistin Çatışmasına Yönelik Küçümseme Körükleyen Politikası

Evanjelikler yıllardır cumhuriyetçi adayları daha dindar bir şekilde bağlı olduğu için destekliyorlar. Bu durum, Trump'ın 2016 seçimlerinde aldığı ve Kendisini Beyaz Saray'a getiren muazzam desteğine de yansıdı. Trump'ın başarısı, ABD politikasının durumu ve Amerika'nın dünyadaki gelecekteki rolü hakkında ciddi endişelere yol açtı. Çalışma, Başkan Donald Trump'ın, özellikle de Başkan'ın şok edici sözleri ve konuşmalarıyla körüklenen Filistin sorunuyla ilgilenenler arasında yaygın tartışmalara eşlik eden ABD dış politikasıyla ilgili endişelerden kaynaklanıyor. Arap liderler Trump'ın IŞİd'le mücadele hazırlıklarını kabul etse ler de, İsrail-Filistin çatışması kamuoyunun eleştirilerini sürdürüyor. Trump bir dizi çelişkiyi temsil ederken, İsrail ile olan yakın ilişkileri ve 'yüzyılın anlaşması' kararı, Krize adil bir çözüm bulmak için Orta Doğu siyasetini daha karmaşık hale getirdi. Bu makalede, Trump'ın İsrail-Filistin çatışmasına yönelik yeni politikası ve uzlaşma yerine küçümsemeyi körükleme eğilimi tartışılıyor. Çalışma, ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'ın evanjelistlerle olan özel ilişkisi ışığındaki tutumunu analiz etmeye ve bunun gelecekteki çatışma ihtimalleri üzerindeki etkilerini anlamaya çalışıyor.

Fuelling Disdain: President Trump’s Policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

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.
