Newspapers and global sites highlighted the Gulf tour of US President Donald Trump, and the tension in US -Israeli relations, in light of Washington’s desire to end the Gaza war and oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The American “Bright Bart” website stated that Trump is making his first major external visit in his new mandate, and said that “the Gulf states put themselves major diplomats during Trump’s second state.” The site added that Doha is still a major mediator in the negotiations between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel, while Saudi Arabia has facilitated talks on the war in Ukraine.
On the issue of relations between Washington and Tel Aviv, the French newspaper “Le Monde” in Jerusalem said that the Israeli Prime Minister is annoyed by Trump’s initiatives on Gaza, Yemen and Iran.
The writer explains that Trump welcomed the release of the Israeli Israeli prisoner, Idan Alexander, and his statement for the first time clearly that he wants to end the war in Gaza radically contradicts the plan of the Israeli government, which includes the destruction of the remainder of Gaza, and it is not the only contrast between Trump and Netanyahu, according to the writer.
The article comments that “the land apparently moves under the feet of the Israeli Prime Minister, whose star began to fade in Washington.”
The editorial of the Israeli newspaper “Haaretz” saw that Israel should stick to what Trump’s lifeline called and ended the war on Gaza. “The recent movements of the American President in the Middle East should not be considered a blow to Israel, but rather a recent invitation to stop the” Gideon “operation planned in the Gaza Strip, before these vehicles set out on a road that will lead them to a disaster, under the auspices of a failed leader who no longer looks right or left, which is Benjamin Netanyahu.
Radical transformation
On the issue of Syria, the American news site “Axios” considered the US President’s announcement that the United States will lift the sanctions on Syria to give it a new opportunity “a fundamental shift in American policy towards Syria, less than 6 months after the collapse of the regime of ousted President Bashar al -Assad, as sanctions paralyzed the Syrian economy and pushed the country to the brink of bankruptcy.”
In the French newspaper “Le Figaro”, an article by writer Renault Gerrard shed light on the American president’s style, and said, “Despite what many commentators say, Trump is not crazy, but a practical leader in his own way, and his style is – whether – in a diplomatic or commercial discussion – in a lot, then negotiation, and China can testify to that.”
The writer considered that it is too early to evaluate Trump’s foreign policy, and in financial matters it is necessary to wait for at least a year before judging his influence on the largest economy in the world.
