(Free Press) Amb. Michael Oren - What was most transformational about President Trump's pronouncements on the Middle East was that neither Gaza nor the West Bank will become a Palestinian state on his watch, and that indeed, a Palestinian state is not necessary to a resolution of the regional conflict. For Trump today, the core problem in the Middle East is not the absence of a fantasized state for the Palestinians, but the presence of a Palestinian population condemned to pursue conflict by their addiction to a victimhood narrative. Once the problem of Gaza is resolved, so the president apparently holds, the Saudis and perhaps other Sunni states can reconcile with Israel. Unlike Biden and Obama, who believed Iran could be incentivized to behave less malignantly, Trump knows that the ayatollahs cannot be bought but only coerced. The writer is a former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and Deputy Minister for Diplomacy.
