The article discusses the unexpected implications of Donald Trump's recent policies concerning the Middle East. While historically the US-Israel relationship emphasized Israeli military superiority, Trump's admiration for Saudi Arabia signals a potential pivot that could diminish Israel's long-standing priority. His visit to Saudi Arabia, devoid of conditions for advancing relations with Israel, and the massive arms deal highlight this shift. Trump's approach reflects a move away from established norms, leaving many uncertain about its sustainability and the consequences for Palestinian aspirations amidst regional unrest.
"It's come to something when the Palestinians' best hope for relief rests on a man who dreams of emptying Gaza of its people and turning the place into a beach resort."
"Trump's tour of the past several days signifies a sharply different approach to the Middle East, especially to the country that, for decades, Washington saw as its chief ally in the region."
