UAE and Saudi Arabia to donate $100m to Ivanka Trump fund

Trump is now in Israel on the second leg of his nine-day trip, with stops in Italy and Belgium to follow.

Iranian aggression all over the Middle East – in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza – is the main threat for Israel and for the Sunni Arab states, Steinitz said, adding: “I am happy that the USA, finally, after three or four years of appeasement of the Iranians, decided under the Trump leadership to create some kind of regional alliance”. “Benjamin Netanyahu wants peace”.

Palestinians, who viewed Trump’s victory with some trepidation, are said to have been pleasantly surprised by Trump’s openness during a recent meeting with Abbas in Washington.

Israel considers the entire city to be its capita while the global community says the future of east Jerusalem, claimed by the Palestinians, must be resolved through negotiations.

“President Trump visited the Jewish holy site, the Western Wall, in east Jerusalem today“.

Beigelman wasn’t sure about Trump’s chances of achieving peace in the area, but was hopeful with Trump’s approach to the region.

“Until the Iranian regime is willing to be a partner for peace, all nations of conscience must work together to isolate Iran, deny it funding for terrorism, and pray for the day when the Iranian people have the just and righteous government they deserve”.

“I think Islam hates us”. So, we’ve been wrong all this time.

U.S. president Donald Trump’s recent anti-Iran remarks were aimed at “milking” Saudi Arabia, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Monday.

At 6-foot-2-inches, Trump towers over Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and so he leaned in as he was presented with the gold chain honor.

Aaron David Miller, a Middle East peace adviser to Democratic and Republican secretaries of state, said that despite Greenblatt’s positive reviews in the region, there are limits over how much influence he, or any American officials, can have over the process.

While running for the job he now holds, Trump heartily criticized President Barack Obama for not using the term “radical Islamic extremism” and said that refusal indicated that Obama did not understand America’s enemy.

Sutton said pairing Trump’s visit to Israel with the other Middle Eastern countries shows he’s not trying to side with any country, but with both Israelis and the Muslim nations. And at the end of the trip, as I was getting back on the plane, the security guards from the Saudi side who’d been helping us over the weekend all wanted to pose for a big photo op.

There has always been an underlying skepticism of America in the Arab world based primarily on the USA historic support of Israel, concomitant with our antagonism towards the Palestinians. The rebels, like Saudi Arabia, are mostly Sunni, and are supported by the USA and Sunnis in the Arab world.
