President Trump promised to be an unprecedentedly pro-Israel president. He appointed an Orthodox Jewish ambassador to Israel with an unquestioned conservative resume. He pledged undying support for the Jewish state and promised repeatedly to move the US embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem.

In the last month, Trump has put all of that credibility in mortal peril.

First, two weeks ago, Trump hosted Palestinian dictator Mahmoud Abbas at the White House, where he declared that Abbas wanted peace and that he didn't think a Middle East peace deal would be too difficult.

Last Wednesday, NRG reported that Trump had decided to recant moving the embassy to Jerusalem:

The U.S. Embassy will not be transferred to Jerusalem. President Trump decided, like his predecessors, to sign a waiver that would delay the move by half a year. This is in contrast to his repeated declarations in the past that he would move the embassy to the "eternal capital of the Jewish people." The decision was made in recent days.

Last Thursday, Trump advisor Dan Scavino tweeted that Trump would visit "Palestine" — a fictional country.

On the following Monday, The Jerusalem Post reported that a senior White House official stated that the Western Wall — the wall of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism — was not actually sovereign Israeli territory:

The drama unfolded when a senior White House official said that the Western Wall was part of the West Bank and not part of Israel's territory, as Channel 2 reported on Monday.

"The Western Wall is not in your territory," the official reportedly said.

Asked about those reports on Tuesday morning at the White House, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster refused to walk them back, calling the issue one of “policy.”

Finally, on Tuesday, it was revealed by The New York Times that in a meeting Trump had at the White House with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, Trump dropped highly classified information that could endanger intelligence efforts by a key US ally: Israel. According to the Times:

The classified intelligence that President Trump disclosed in a meeting last week with Russian officials at the White House was provided by Israel, according to a current and a former American official familiar with how the United States obtained the information. The revelation adds a potential diplomatic complication to the episode. Israel is one of the United States’ most important allies and a major intelligence collector in the Middle East. The revelation that Mr. Trump boasted about some of Israel’s most sensitive information to the Russians could damage the relationship between the two countries. It also raises the possibility that the information could be passed to Iran, Russia’s close ally and Israel’s main threat in the Middle East.

In January, the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot reported that Israeli intelligence officials were worried about working with th
