Summary

Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign was sprinkled with promises that resonated strongly with many on Israel’s right. From reversing the Iran deal to a more lenient settlements policy and moving the embassy to Jerusalem, these campaign promises turned into expectations on November 8, 2016. The question now is will Israel's right ultimately be disillusioned or rejoice in Trump’s success? Oren Nahari joins 2NJB to talk about Trump’s first 30 days from the Israeli perspective. Nahari is head of the foreign news desk at Walla News and is the author of several bestsellers including “World History Atlas: a Chronology of the Human Race”
