Trump's return sparks mixed reactions in Middle East as allies anticipate policy shifts
Donald Trump’s return to the White House has been welcomed by allies like Israel and Egypt, while countries opposed to the U.S., such as Qatar and Iran, show indifference. Observers expect Trump to continue his unique approach to Middle East policies.
Trump aims to address conflicts involving Israel, particularly with Hamas and Hezbollah. He also seeks to revive the Abraham Accords, aiming to normalize relations between Israel and more Arab states, with Saudi Arabia as a key target.
While Trump is expected to maintain a tough stance on Iran, he may also pursue negotiations to ease tensions. His approach could be more challenging due to the current geopolitical climate following recent conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
