Pentagon split over Trump’s Israel policy
Top Pentagon officials have been divided over the extent of US military support for Israel, a split whose resolution will shape President Donald Trump’s second-term foreign policy.
US military leaders, including the chief of US Central Command, Gen. Michael Kurilla, have requested more resources to support and defend Israel. But their requests have drawn resistance from undersecretary of defense for policy Elbridge Colby, who has long opposed moving US military assets from Asia to the Middle East, people sympathetic to each side of the argument told Semafor
Colby has long argued that moves like the missile relocation would imperil US military readiness in a possible conflict with China or North Korea
Trump’s appointment of Colby raised concerns among hawks and Israel supporters who saw it as one of a number of signs that the US might look to cut its support for Israel, if not reorient its policy more broadly. The dismissal of Waltz seemed to confirm that direction.
