Trump's Victory: Implications for Middle East Politics and the Palestinian Issue

Experts analyze the potential impact of Donald Trump's presidency on Middle Eastern politics, focusing on the Palestinian issue and regional conflicts.

Trump's personality as a businessman may lead to a focus on economic gains in his foreign policy decisions, particularly in the Middle East.

The dynamics of Trump's presidency will be influenced by the institutional limits of the US government, which may moderate his more extreme policy proposals.

The potential for a new Middle Eastern order could emerge if Trump successfully navigates relations with Iran while addressing the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

Trump may attempt to leverage his relationship with Israel to reshape the Palestinian issue, potentially leading to renewed discussions on statehood and normalization of relations with Arab countries.

Increased pressure on Iran is expected, but military conflict is unlikely as Trump may prefer economic sanctions and diplomatic maneuvers instead.

The outcomes of Trump's policies will largely depend on the responses from Arab nations and their willingness to engage with US initiatives.


A symposium organized by the Al-Zaytouna Center for Studies and Consultations discussed the implications of Donald Trump's victory in the recent US presidential elections on Middle Eastern politics. Experts highlighted that Trump's approach will be shaped by his personality traits and economic objectives, particularly concerning the Palestinian issue and regional conflicts.

The researchers noted several challenges Trump will face upon taking office, including the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war, Israeli military actions in Gaza, and tensions involving Iran and its regional influence. They emphasized that Trump's decisions will likely prioritize economic considerations over human rights or environmental issues.

The relationship between Trump and Israel is expected to influence US policy towards the Palestinian cause significantly. Analysts predict that Trump will continue to support Israeli military objectives while pressuring Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel, potentially revising the 'Deal of the Century' to align with current geopolitical dynamics.
