Susan Rice: Foreign policy should serve national interest, not president

Donald Trump: Support goals of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

As president, Trump has:
• reversed U.S. policy and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau that Israel seized from Syria after the Six-Day War of 1967.
• recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv.,
• eliminated hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinians and closed their representative office in Washington.
• ended the decades-long U.S. practice of opposing Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank in what would be the core of a future Palestinian state.
• withdrawn from the landmark 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had fiercely opposed, and re-imposed stringent new sanctions on the country that Israel regards as an existential threat.
• pulled the U.S. out of several U.N. organizations, the U.N. Human Rights Council and UNESCO, citing anti-Israel bias in their agendas.
