Скачать или смотреть Trump backs Israel at UN: how long can US support last?

The US President Donald Trump's speech at the UN reaffirmed unwavering US support for Israel amid growing calls for Palestinian statehood from America's traditional allies. The combative address created another fault line in the divisions between the United States and Europe, with Trump taking aim at efforts to promote Palestinian statehood and demanding the release of Israeli hostages. But as public opinion among Americans increasingly turns towards growing sympathy for Palestinians over Israel's assault on Gaza, questions arise about the sustainability of America's steadfast support. With deepening rifts between the US and Europe on Middle East policy, how long can Washington maintain its current position?
