Summary
US President Donald Trump’s meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was a strategic initiative by Trump, according to Middle East expert Dr. Edy Cohen. He emphasized that disinformation is prevalent regarding the visit, particularly claims that Trump is turning against Israel, and noted Qatar’s growing influence in Arab affairs, calling for Israel to respond diplomatically. Cohen expressed hope for Arab unity while cautioning that Trump’s motivations are not ideological, suggesting Qatar’s desire for regional dominance may be a driving factor.
