Donald Trump expected to press Netanyahu for concessions on Saudi peace, expert says​

"[President-elect Donald] Trump’s return to the White House will inevitably lead to significant shifts in US policy, both internationally and regionally, due to his contrasting worldview and leadership style compared to Biden," US policy expert and a senior researcher at the Institute for Policy and Strategy at Reichman University, Dr. Shay Har-Zvi told Maariv on Sunday.


"This time, Trump seems more prepared and focused. He understands the governmental system more deeply and is aware that this may be his last opportunity to secure a lasting historical legacy. Therefore, it’s likely he will seek to implement most of his domestic and foreign policy initiatives within the first two years, ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, capitalizing on the conservative Republican majority in the Senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court," Har-Zvi said

.Har-Zvi described Trump’s leadership approach as one driven by the mindset of a businessman seeking to "close deals from a position of strength." He noted: "Trump’s key priorities include improving the US economy, lowering the cost of living, and addressing the immigration crisis—his core campaign promises. To achieve these, he may create controlled crises and leverage America’s diplomatic, economic, and military power."
