Trump ignored Palestinians during his Middle East trip
President Trump's Middle East trip yielded no progress for Palestinians, despite deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and outreach to Syria and Iran. He reiterated his interest in U.S. involvement in Gaza. Trump's visit focused on trade and diplomacy, including agreements worth billions. While he expressed a desire to help Palestinians, the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the Israel-Hamas war received little attention, with no breakthroughs achieved. Amidst the renewed Israeli offensive in Gaza, Trump's actions, including lifting sanctions on Syria, were seen as potentially snubbing Israel. Critics suggest the conflict's low priority for Trump is due to its limited strategic benefit.
