Washington, D.C. – On September 25, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on international alliances, stating, “History has shown us that those who have relations with Israel have thrived, while those who have devoted resources toward the destruction of Israel have languished.” The remark, made during a press briefing at the White House, underscores Trump’s unwavering support for Israel amid escalating global tensions.

Trump’s statement comes as several Western nations, including Canada, the UK, and Australia, recognized a Palestinian state, a move he criticized as rewarding terrorism. He highlighted Israel’s contributions to global security, from counter-terrorism intelligence to defense technology, arguing that allies benefit directly from strong ties with the Jewish state. “Israel is on the front lines fighting extremism—everyone should thank them,” Trump added, referencing Israel’s recent operations against Hezbollah and Hamas.
