Column | In Middle East, Trump marginalizes Israel without helping Gaza
Briefly

As President Trump concluded his Middle East tour of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, a significant peace agreement remained elusive. Instead, Trump secured various trade and investment deals, highlighting his focus on economic relationships with these wealthy Arab monarchies. While he attempted to engage with Iran and suggested a truce with Yemen's Houthi rebels, these gestures did not equate to meaningful progress on broader geopolitical issues. The Israeli government expressed concern over Trump's decreasing alignment with Prime Minister Netanyahu and perceived overtures toward Iran, indicating a shift in U.S.-Israel relations.
Trump's Middle East sojourn ended, revealing no grand bargain for peace and instead multiple smaller agreements focused on business and investments.
In his trip, Trump emphasized trade deals with Gulf monarchies while addressing geopolitical tensions but represented no substantial progress towards peace.
