Israel Emerges Mideast Superpower, Seeks Regional Peace Post-Gaza War

U.S. President Donald Trump is positioning himself as a peacemaker in the Middle East, aiming to secure a lasting legacy by promoting peace between Israel and its neighbors. Analysts and former diplomats suggest Trump may advocate for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, potentially paving the way for Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel. Trump’s administration continues to support Israel militarily and diplomatically, which has helped shift regional power dynamics, establishing Israel as a dominant Middle East superpower with U.S. backing. Israeli President Isaac Herzog emphasizes the importance of turning military victories into political progress by normalizing ties with Arab countries after the Gaza war. Meanwhile, Trump’s White House also focuses on broader foreign policy issues, including trade tariffs and support for Ukraine, while maintaining efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The evolving U.S.-Israel partnership under Trump aims to capitalize on recent military successes to foster unprecedented alliances and a new era of regional peace.
