Writing for Haaretz, Israeli journalist Aluf Benn notes that each time US presidents have been angered by Tel Aviv's actions, “Israel stood its ground, deflected the pressure and over time got what it wanted.” Benn stated that Trump is also pursuing a deal with Iran over its nuclear program that is contrary to Netanyahu's position on the matter. Trump pulled the US out of the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018 amid encouragement from Netanyahu. However, the president has been trying to come to a diplomatic understanding with Iran to halt the development of its nuclear program during his second term.
