In a surprising statement, former President Donald Trump has claimed that the pro-Israel lobby in the United States no longer holds the same level of influence it once did. Trump's comments come as a surprise to many, given his own history of close ties with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and other pro-Israel groups. However, Trump's assertion may reflect a broader shift in US politics, where the traditional dynamics of the Israel lobby are being challenged by a new generation of lawmakers and activists. As the US continues to navigate its complex relationship with Israel and the Middle East, Trump's comments are likely to spark debate about the role of the pro-Israel lobby in shaping US foreign policy.
Trump claims pro-Israel lobbying no longer wields the power it had decades ago, reflecting changes in US politics.
