There's talk that Trump may officially recognize Palestine as a state.
In response, Hamas, the governing body of Gaza, releases one hostage as a sign of goodwill ahead of Trump’s Middle East visit.
For over two decades, Israel has heavily influenced American foreign policy, and they are not pleased. They threaten unilateral action against both the U.S. and Gaza if Trump negotiates deals without their involvement.
Additionally, Trump has agreed to engage directly with Saudi Arabia, sidelining Israel in the process.
On top of that, Qatar is looking to gift Trump a \$400 million aircraft.
It seems that Middle Eastern diplomacy could be vastly improved when Israel’s influence is removed from the equation.
