While it is impossible to know exactly how a second Trump Presidency will act toward the Palestinian people and their demands for statehood, his first Presidency provides a guide to what they might expect.
Like all his predecessors, in his first term, President Trump's dealings with Israelis and Palestinians were overwhelmingly influenced by domestic political pressures, which meant unwavering support for Israel. However, true to the nature of his norm-breaking first term, Trump often dismissed long-held diplomatic norms in search of a resolution to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
By doing so, his Administration sought to remove any obstacles to «peace» between Palestinians and Israelis — a «peace» that would paradoxically see the end of any hope for a Palestinian state.
In 2017, the US announced that its embassy in Israel would relocate from Tel Aviv to West Jerusalem. While Israelis celebrated this news, it ran against diplomatic conventions concerning the status of Jerusalem, which had been in operation since 1967.
