U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent Middle East tour, touted as a 'success' by his team, secured $2 trillion in deals for American goods like Boeing jets and military gear. But behind the dollar signs, Gaza’s escalating humanitarian crisis casts a long shadow. 💸⚡
In Riyadh, Trump pushed Arab leaders to join the 2020 Abraham Accords – agreements normalizing ties between Israel and some Arab states. Yet, with daily Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank, experts say expanding the accords is a long shot. 'Arab nations won’t sign peace deals while Palestinians suffer,' says analyst William Jones. 🕊️
The two-state solution – creating separate Israeli and Palestinian states – has been U.S. policy for decades. But Trump’s recent suggestion to turn Gaza into a 'Mediterranean Riviera' with luxury apartments sparked outrage. Critics called it a thinly veiled plan to displace Palestinians, drawing sharp rebukes from Egypt and Jordan. 🏖️➡️🔥
As tensions rise, young activists globally are demanding action. 'Peace isn’t about real estate deals,' tweeted one student leader. 'It’s about dignity.' Can Trump pivot from business to diplomacy? The world’s watching. 👀✊
