A Zioneer analysis examines President Trump's recent regional moves: a civilian nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, reported aircraft transfers to Turkey, and intensified diplomatic and military attention on Iran — all conducted without apparent coordination with Israel, raising questions about the administration's regional priorities.
A Zioneer analysis published Wednesday morning argues that President Trump's recent regional moves — a civilian nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, reported aircraft transfers to Turkey, and intensified focus on Iran — are being conducted without meaningful coordination with Israel, effectively bypassing the traditional U.S.-Israel strategic partnership.
As The Zioneer reported on July 22, Trump reached a 30-year civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia that permits domestic uranium enrichment, decoupling nuclear cooperation from Israeli normalization. The deal was announced without prior consultation with Jerusalem, according to Israeli officials.
On the Turkey front, reports have emerged of U.S. aircraft transfers to Ankara, coinciding with Turkish President Erdogan's increasingly hostile rhetoric toward Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu raised Erdogan's statements in a call with Trump on July 9, as The Zioneer reported, but the administration has not publicly addressed Israeli concerns.
Regarding Iran, Trump has placed U.S. military forces on alert while simultaneously urging Tehran to return to negotiations, following an IRGC missile barrage. The president has also signaled potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, as The Zioneer documented on June 10.
The analysis suggests that these moves, taken together, represent a shift in U.S. regional policy that prioritizes bilateral relationships with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran over the traditional U.S.-Israel axis, raising strategic questions for Jerusalem.
