Overview
As Donald Trump prepares to return as U.S. president, his historic support for Israel and desire for rapid conflict resolution face new challenges amid the ongoing Gaza crisis and tensions with Iran. The war in Gaza, launched after Hamas attacks on October 7, has left over 43,000 dead, with humanitarian concerns escalating. International mediation efforts have stalled, and questions about the future of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East linger, particularly regarding Trump's intentions for a postwar Gaza and relationships with Israel and Iran. Analysts are skeptical about how Trump's presidency will affect regional stability.
