Summary
Outline
TODAY'S DISCUSSION
President Donald Trump’s Middle East policy was a clear departure from Obama’s policy oflimiting U.S. involvement, to protecting its interests in the region.
The failure of Trump’s policy over the past four years, is due to four key reasons. For astart, the choice of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner to spearhead the peace plan, is adebateable choice at best.
Jared lacked both political and diplomatic experience and had a limited understanding ofground realities.
Introduction
Trump’sinability toback hisRhetoric withConcreteAction
The second reason was the fact that, the American public was tired oflong-standing conflicts, in far off places, waged for goals that weredifficult to attain.
The frequent policy flip-flop and an inability to back up words withstrong and meaningful action, was the third reason for failure.
Trump used strong language against ISIS and Syria, he could not getRussia to reign in Syria. Instead, he used symbolic military strikes,with little to no tangible results on the ground.
The Kurdish rebels were long-standing allies in the fight against ISIS,but were left to fend for themselves against Turkish incursions.
Trump’s inability to back his rhetoric with concrete action earned himthe sobriquet of ‘barking dogs seldom bite’, among the Arabestablishments in the region.
The fourth and final reason was Trump’s inability to build consensus within an Arab worlddeeply divided by long-standing religious and sectarian divisions.
This, coupled with a clear pro-Israeli tilt, put paid to Trump’s Middle East plan
Trump’s Final Reason over Middle East Plan
At a recent meeting of the Organization ofIslamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia, all 57member countries voted to reject the U.S.peace plan.
