This is how Trump plans to dominate the Middle East

He continued in an article for “Maariv”: “First and foremost, Trump will strive to achieve his electoral promise, which is to improve the economic situation of the United States, reduce the cost of living and combat the phenomenon of illegal immigrants and others, while using the power of the United States on the international arena to achieve these goals.” .

According to the Israeli researcher, “Trump believes that these pressures will help him extract economic benefits, reduce customs duties imposed on American goods, control shipping lanes and natural resources, and reduce American investments in security and military aid to countries of the world, and his desire to end the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine stems from… “Recognize that these things lead the United States to invest too much political and economic input, and as long as they continue, they will draw the United States into greater engagement and obscure its ability to focus on the issues central to it.”

Therefore, Trump’s main goal in the Middle East will be to achieve stability, and this will entail achieving the three main goals: ending the war in Gaza, the return of prisoners, a historic normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Har Zvi added: “In this case, it seems that Trump’s preferred option, at the present time, will be a new nuclear agreement, which will ensure that Iran does not maintain its status as a country on the threshold of obtaining nuclear weapons, and will not be able to penetrate them. To this end, Trump will once again promote the concept of maximum pressure, while threatening painful economic sanctions, and perhaps even hinting at preparing for military action or assisting Israel with the necessary means. This is to make clear to Iran the painful price it may pay if it rejects a new deal.”

According to the researcher, “With regard to the normalization agreement, Trump sees it as a crown jewel that has the potential to generate strategic and economic gains for the United States, and even personal gains for himself, such as the Nobel Peace Prize.” Trump will not hesitate to pressure Netanyahu to be flexible in his relationship with the Palestinian Authority, on the grounds that this may be a stumbling block in the path to normalization on the part of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.”

Har Zvi concluded, “Trump’s expected policy is to reshuffle the cards in the region, and Trump has already begun to put his mark on operations in the region, as is clear in reports of significant progress in negotiations between Israel and Hamas.” (Russia Today)
