How central is Israel to the US President’s political agenda? An analysis of posts posted by US President Donald Trump during the first 100 days of his presidency (January 20 to May 3, 2025) compared mentions of Israel (including related keywords, such as “Netanyahu” or “the Jews”, etc.) with mentions of other countries. The analysis, conducted by researchers at the Glazer Center of the Jewish People’s Policy Institute, includes 1,276 verbal posts posted by Trump to the Truth Social network, ( https://trumpstruth.org/ ), the main network he uses. The data was processed using computer software.
The issue of Israel (including the Jews, and the conflict with the Palestinians) is in fourth place out of 14 countries, along with Canada, and is mentioned more than France and even more than Mexico, the United States’ neighbor to the south. Of the list, the country that leads with the most mentions is China. The countries that lead after China are Britain (the largest and most important ally of the United States) and Russia-Ukraine (they were included together because of the war).
Data analysis conducted using AI tools shows that Israel receives a high share of the US President’s advertisements, even compared to countries much larger than it.
They are followed, as mentioned, by Israel and Canada, followed by Mexico, France, Germany, Greenland, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, and Turkey. The analysis therefore proves that the Israeli issue is of high importance on the US president’s political agenda, even compared to large countries, neighbors of the US, and international powers.
