Donald Trump has promised to end foreign wars, but on whose terms and how is unclear.

When it comes to the Middle East, we can learn a lot from Trump’s approach to Israel during his first term as president. 

Today, Hussein Ibish from the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington DC on what the president-elect’s return means for the prospects of peace and Israel’s ambitions.  

He discusses the potential annexation of the West Bank and highlights the significant support Trump has shown for Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. 

Hussein Ibish also explores the views of key figures like David Friedman and Mike Huckabee in shaping US-Israel relations.
