Clauses that were dropped in last-minute political wrangling – and after objections by Israel’s president and attorney general – would have enshrined in law the establishment of Jewish-only communities, and instructed courts to rule according to Jewish ritual law when there were no relevant legal precedents.
Apartheid-y theocracy. Just like their neighbours!
I was thinking about this earlier, my assumption is that Trump and the GOP give Israel unwavering support because the Israeli's have almost completed the establishment of a modern, internationally accepted, un-censured, Apartheid state.
This is, has to be, the model that the Republicans want the US to follow, as white Americans will be a minority group from 2027 - so to ensure that white minority rule continues they'll need to disenfranchise those who are not white (and likely also male landowners).
Dammit-
US policy towards Israel seems to stem from a number of factors so I'm not sure that's the sole reasoning.
The whole region is riven with theocratic non-democracies all of whom share the same invisible sky wizard. They just disagree about the spokesman for said sky wizard.

There's a fairly simple link, actually:
During the 1980s, Fred Trump became friends with future-Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, who was the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations in Manhattan.
