This is all in keeping with Trump's apparently horrible views on US - Israeli relations. 

His goal seems to be to empower the extremist settlement movement which seems to want a one state solution with the millions of Non-Israeli Arab residents (i.e. Palestinians) resident in the occupied territories either ethnically cleansed or continuing in perpetuity as stateless non-citizen residents subject to martial law (i.e. continuance of the nearly 50 years or martial law and Apartheid in the West Bank and Occupied Territories). 

These goals seem designed to undermine Israel's long term security.
