The 45th and 47th U.S. president, Trump took steps in both terms to strengthen ties with Israel. He withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. He fulfilled a deferred 1995 law and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in 2018. He recognized Israel’s 1981 annexation of the Golan Heights. He proposed an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan without settlement withdrawal. His signature foreign policy achievement in his first tersm was brokering the Abraham Accords. Before his second term began in 2025, he worked with the outgoing Biden administration to broker a January 2025 cease-fire connected to the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners.
