Trump aims for peace in Middle East as he returns to presidency
Donald Trump will return to the U.S. presidency amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly the war in Gaza. He has promised to bring peace but faces challenges due to his past support for Israel and the current humanitarian crisis.
As Trump takes office, Israel's military actions in Gaza and against Hezbollah continue, with significant casualties reported. International efforts for a cease-fire have failed, and Trump's approach remains unclear, especially regarding his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump's previous policies favored Israel, including recognizing Jerusalem as its capital and supporting settlement expansion. His return may shift U.S. support back to Israel, but questions remain about his strategy for Gaza and broader regional stability.
