As anticipation builds, former President Donald Trump is set to deliver a speech from the nation’s capital at 6 p.m. EDT, revving up his base and likely demonstrating that he hasn’t lost any of that old campaign fire. This event comes on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the horrific Oct. 7 attacks perpetrated by Hamas against Israel—a grim reminder that some global adversaries are still hell-bent on chaos and antisemitism.
Triggered by this recent history, Trump is expected to remind everyone why he considers himself “the most pro-Israel president” to ever sit in the Oval Office. For those keeping score, this assertion is backed by some serious moves during his administration, like the historic relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. These actions are seen not just as gestures but as a strong alignment with Israel that previous administrations failed to muster.

Among Trump’s bragging rights is the Abraham Accords, which not only normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations but also marked a significant diplomatic achievement in the tangled world of Middle Eastern politics. His supporters point to these agreements as proof that Trump understood how to navigate the tricky landscape of international relations, delivering results where others only delivered platitudes.
On the other side of the aisle, many Democrats continue to grapple with the fallout from their party’s stance on Israel, where support seems to wane as the left embraces a more isolationist and, at times, antisemitic narrative. This position sets a clear backdrop for Trump’s criticisms, framing him as the only true defender of Israel on the political stage. Conservative Americans are eager to hear how he plans to confront these challenges moving forward.
As the clock ticks down to the event, the conservative community anticipates a fiery speech filled with the typical Trump swagger, where past accomplishments are woven into future promises. It’s a reminder that, in the eyes of his supporters, he remains a stalwart ally of Israel in an increasingly troubled international landscape. Buckle up; it’s going to be a night of bold declarations and well-rehearsed applause.
