He has mentioned some things about reining in and/or restricting the Federal Reserve, but seeing as they've bumped up the interest rate 4 times during Trump's first year in office (compared to a single time in 8 years under Obama), it doesn't look like he is having that much public success there at the moment (maybe after the Pentagon finishes its audit {assuming they don't pull another 9/11 to destroy the evidence of the audit...}, he'll finally have the political capital to beat some sense into the Fed).
As for Israel, other than the "Two State Solution" that some Israelis don't like and some of the Jews crying out against Trump's border wall and immigration reforms, and giving more power to the reformers in Syria and Saudi Arabia, he seems to be publicly in favor of a lot of the things Netanyahu likes (possibly due to being heavily influenced by Ivanka and her husband, possibly to avoided getting fully framed as Hitler, possibly because he just wants to quietly go after the worst of the bunch while promoting the good ones {like he is currently doing with the Saudi Muslims}, impossible to tell which right now).

Dude, every President says that shit. The "left" all thought Obama was anti-Wall Street years after he adopted a dozen of them to his cabinet.
