Historical Context

The 2018 U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of Israel's founding, sparked significant protests and violence, resulting in over 60 Palestinian deaths during clashes. This event intensified the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting a shift in U.S. foreign policy under President Trump, as public sentiment increasingly questions U.S. support for Israel amid ongoing humanitarian crises in Gaza.
