In the latest White House Watch newsletter, Donald Trump is currently touring the Middle East, notably excluding Israel from his itinerary, which highlights a growing rift with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Recent events include Hamas releasing an American-Israeli hostage after U.S. negotiations bypassed Netanyahu, and Trump lifting sanctions on Syria while pursuing direct negotiations with Iran, a significant issue for Netanyahu. Moreover, Trump’s tone on Ukraine has shifted, reflecting frustration with Vladimir Putin, indicating a potential reassessment of U.S.-Russia relations.
