Middle East: Trump on the brink of failure in Gaza and Iran
In Gaza, Trump cannot assert himself against his ally Israel. A endless conflict looms with Iran. According to experts, the US President has maneuvered himself into a hopeless situation.
US President Donald Trump's efforts to broker peace in the Gaza Strip and with Iran have stalled. Despite signing a peace plan for Gaza in October at a meeting in Scharm el Scheich, and an agreement to end the war with Iran in June at the Palace of Versailles, the conflicts persist. A "peace council" was established in January to implement the Gaza plan, but it has made little progress.
Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, visited the region over the weekend with representatives of the peace council, but left without achieving any breakthroughs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu announced that two working groups will be set up to focus on disarming Hamas and addressing water and healthcare issues.
