Leading Israeli analyst Amit Segal (N12) reports that U.S. President Donald Trump's popularity among the Israeli public is collapsing, prompting Prime Minister Netanyahu to consider an unexpected political move. The assessment adds to a series of recent analyses tracking a decline in Trump's standing in Israel.
According to Amit Segal, a senior political analyst for N12, the collapse of Trump's popularity in Israel represents a strategic shift in the domestic political landscape. Segal's assessment—published Tuesday evening—suggests that Prime Minister Netanyahu may be preparing an "unexpected," unspecified move in response to the waning support for the U.S. president among Israelis. The report comes amid a sustained debate within Israeli political circles over Netanyahu's close alignment with Trump. Over the past week, The Zioneer has tracked multiple analyses addressing this trend. On June 10, commentators Mati Tuchfeld (C14) and the Times of Israel separately noted that Likud officials are concerned about Trump's declining appeal and that the president may be tiring of Netanyahu. Earlier today, another analyst described Trump as "surrendering to pressures" within his administration. Segal's piece adds a new element by suggesting the prime minister may now act on that shift—though no concrete move or timeline is specified. The analysis is single-sourced, attributed exclusively to Segal's published commentary.
