Trump's Knesset speech praising Israel's use of US weapons in Gaza
Trump is drawing anger from parts of his own base over his praise of Israel's war in Gaza, a sign of a widening split on the American right.
- Speaking to Israel's parliament, Trump boasted that US-made weapons were used in Gaza and told Netanyahu he "used them well."
- Supporters who helped elect him are calling the remark evil and saying they feel betrayed.
- The criticism extends to US strikes in Iran, including one that reportedly hit a girls' school with no apology afterward.
- Backing for Israeli policy is becoming a real fault line among conservatives, not just a fringe complaint.
Outlook: Expect the rift between Trump and his non-interventionist supporters to keep growing as US involvement in the region continues.
