That he was. But he also bent the knee to AIPAC and made good on his promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem (a promise he made to Sheldon Adelson). Trump is deeply popular in Israel. Netanyahu even has a billboard with Trump on it posted for his re-election campaign. There is a clear trend of even "progressive" Israelis who are soft on Trump. He's essentially a pro-Zionist President.
It's understated how extremist Israel's regime is. It's hardcore right-wing - and there is an attempt to push Israel even *further* to the right that is popular. Progressives have zero power - and Israel's policy towards Palestine is more extreme now than it's been in decades.
