Israel wields a hidden ace against the anti-war MAGA faction, Tucker Carlson, a $600 billion Saudi investment, and Qatar’s $400 million jumbo jet gift. While the media fixates on the Netanyahu-Trump divide, it misses the true power behind the scenes: Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka, not U.S. national security or allegiance to Israel—despite massive donations like the $100 million from Miriam Adelson, widow of casino tycoon and former IDF member Sheldon Adelson—drives Trump’s decisions. She alone can sway him.
With Ivanka and Jared Kushner, a fervent Jewish nationalist, Israel remains untouchable. Zionism’s patron, Edmond Rothschild, famously said, “When there’s blood on the streets, buy property.” Jared embodies this, blending Jewish nationalism with ruthless real estate deals, like eyeing Gaza’s prime beachfront amid the world’s worst genocide since World War II by Israel. This is the man shaping Trump’s Middle East strategy.
So, what will Trump’s trip deliver? Whatever he intended when he landed in Saudi Arabia, particularly regarding Gaza’s bloodshed, is irrelevant. It all boils down to Ivanka. If she opposes isolating or pressuring Israel, Trump won’t act, no matter how desperately Arab leaders plead.
Any move that threatens Israel’s ambitions, Ivanka will block, and Trump can’t resist her influence. Her radical devotion to Judaism fuels this. Since Trump’s first term ended, she’s buried herself in the Talmud, emerging as one of the most extremist Jewish women of our time. When she converted to Judaism in 2009 for Jared Kushner, the Israeli Rabbinate court–the highest Jewish religious body– refused to recognize the legitimacy of all conversions by her rabbi, Lookstein. However, once Trump won the presidency, Israel rushed to recognize the authority of her rabbi and subsequently her conversion, no reapplication needed. They saw her as a modern Esther, the biblical figure who seduced King Cyrus to favor the Jews, triggering ancient genocides against Persians. Ivanka, short of incest, plays a parallel role. History shows narcissists and dreamers often emulate legendary figures, and Ivanka fully embraces being the new Esther.
Through her and Jared, Israel transformed Trump from an anti-war, isolationist candidate—who once flirted with a balanced Israeli-Palestinian approach—into a genocidal force surpassing even Hillary Clinton’s expectations.
Now, as Trump returns to the Middle East in his second term, flanked by Ivanka and Jared, expecting him to challenge Israel is naive. At most, he might push Netanyahu for a fleeting ceasefire—three months or less—riddled with loopholes for Israel to exploit at will to slaughter more Palestinian children.
