President Donald Trump lands on Tuesday in a region that speaks his language: the Gulf. There will be talk of trillions of dollars, pageantry and a lot of gold. There are also reports of a Qatari gift of a luxury jumbo jet to be used as Air Force One — which would be a jumbo ethical and security issue.

Some reports have cast this disconnect as indicative of a chasm between Trump and Israel. But this is a misreading. The divide is not between the president and Israel so much as between the president and Israel’s leader. Most Israelis support what Trump is doing—and oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach to the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu has long trumpeted his ties to Trump. But the president is sidelining him on urgent issues like the Iran nuclear talks and the conflict with Houthi rebels.
