  • With just over a week until President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the soon-to-be second-time U.S. leader famed for his "art of the deal" approach in business and politics prepares to take on a series of interconnected yet equally volatile conflicts in the Middle East.

The article from Newsweek discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's possible return to the presidency in 2025 on Middle Eastern politics, particularly focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and relations with Iran. It highlights Trump's previous term where he facilitated the Abraham Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations, but did not address the core issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Experts suggest that Trump's re-election could lead to a more aggressive U.S. stance against Iran, potentially escalating tensions in the region. There's speculation about Trump's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, with some believing he might push for a deal that could involve significant concessions from the Palestinians, possibly under pressure or incentives. However, the article also notes skepticism about Trump's ability to broker a lasting peace, given his transactional approach to diplomacy and the complex, deeply rooted issues at play.
