After eight full years, Trump returns to the East, driven by hopes, dreams, and ambitions, to conclude more deals, in a desperate attempt to restore his popularity, which had eroded during the first hundred days of his term. This period revealed a severe lack of human emotions, values, morals, and conscientious impulses, accompanied by symptoms of gluttony and diarrhea, expressed in executive orders driven by a customs instinct that possessed the man who was fickle in his decisions, emotions, and excessive roughness, and who did not differentiate between his friends and his enemies.

During his years of enforced absence from the imperial throne in the White House, much water and blood were shed in the region and the world. His dreams were fulfilled, and his hopes of accumulating more money in a bottomless piggy bank faltered. He even turned against yesterday's allies, throwing Zelensky between the wheels of the Russian train, before reclaiming from him all the weapons his predecessor had provided him, plus interest.

From Tuesday to Thursday, the ambitious, unruly man roams the Arab region, moving between Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Qatar, like a traveling salesman seeking to bring benefits, silence the guns, and achieve peace that would fulfill his ambition of winning the Nobel Prize. His first steps began with him turning up his cheek at Netanyahu after discovering that Netanyahu was manipulating him to evade the commitments he promised his hosts in the Kingdom, who stipulated the establishment of a Palestinian state and an end to the slaughter that has been ongoing for six hundred days in Gaza.

Netanyahu wouldn't have needed to issue a statement yesterday ruling out Trump's approval of a Palestinian state had he not sensed that something was moving beyond his control and beyond his radar. Perhaps the potential summit hosted by Riyadh, attended by President Mahmoud Abbas and the Lebanese and Syrian presidents, which Al-Quds exclusively revealed yesterday, indicates that the region is on the cusp of a major transformation of which Netanyahu and his Torah-based coalition will not be a part.

It is imperative to note and commend the Saudi position, which has been far removed from the media hype. Its steadfastness and sound vision regarding the two-state solution and the Kingdom's right to peaceful nuclear energy have succeeded in widening the rift between Trump and Netanyahu. Trump will only take as much from the Kingdom as he gives.
