…Will Donald Trump recognize a Palestinian state?
A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”
The source also added, “If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords.”
The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs.
UPDATE: This is very big if true and shows that Trump is ditching Netanyahu/ Israel while simultaneously handing off local hegemony of the Middle East to the GCC. Trump appears to want to form partnerships above the fray in both the ME and Europe, where he is seeking a partnership with Russia as a foundation for ending the Ukraine War and increasing world prosperity. His trade resets can also be viewed in this light. ABN
