In my latest article for The Cairo Review, I explore the ever-changing nature of Donald Trump’s approach to the Middle East, particularly his shifting stance on Palestine. Unlike his predecessors, Trump’s foreign policy remains unpredictable—marked by contradictory statements, wavering support for Israel, and a lack of consistent strategy.
I discuss the consequences of Trump’s first-term policies, including his role in escalating tensions in Gaza, and consider whether his second term will bring any meaningful change to US relations with Palestine.
I analyze the implications of Trump’s ‘maximum pressure’ approach and the complexities of his administration’s alignment with Israel, questioning whether he can extricate US policy from the Israeli agenda. Despite the conflicting signals, one thing remains clear: Palestinians continue to shape their own destiny, and the US must recognize their resilience in the face of mounting challenges.
I invite you to read the full article for an in-depth examination of the future of U.S. policy in Palestine and the broader Middle East, and what it means for peace in the region.
