Trump’s Gaza plan is a game of bluff poker
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
US President Donald Trump may envision himself as a Middle Eastern puppet master only to find out that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Arab and Muslim leaders have played him.
Even so, it is Hamas and the Palestinians who are likely to hold the bag, not Mr. Trump.
The fact of the matter is that no one in the Middle East and the broader Muslim world sees their interests minimally represented in the US president’s 20-point plan to end the Gaza war, but no regional leader is willing to get on Mr. Trump’s wrong side by telling him so.
