Abstract :
"One of the important topics in the field of foreign policy of countries is how they orient their approach towards international and regional issues. This orientation can influence the creation of positive or negative perceptions of countries. Donald Trump's unilateral approach to important issues in the Middle East, including the Palestine issue, has shaped certain thoughts about US foreign policy. Therefore, the main question of the research is what impact has Donald Trump's Middle Eastern policy had on the perception of America's decline in relation to the Palestine issue? In response to this question, the hypothesis is proposed that Donald Trump's Middle Eastern foreign policy has led to the perception of America's decline in the Palestine issue. This research is of an applied type and due to the descriptive and explanatory nature of the subject, the method of collecting information in this collection is mainly library-based and using written sources including books and articles published in scientific journals. The findings of the research indicate that with the cessation of the normalization process of relations between Arab countries and Israel and the failure of the "Deal of the Century" plan, failure to suppress and weaken the Palestinian resistance axis, the United Nations and the international community not recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and sovereignty over the Golan Heights, the superpower status of this country has faced a serious challenge."
