Opinion | President Trump, You Can Remake the Middle East if You Dare
Briefly

The article emphasizes a pivotal moment for Middle Eastern diplomacy, likening it to historical turning points following major wars. It tells President Trump that although he may not be engaged with the complicated legacy of Jewish and Arab histories, both groups are watching his potential to significantly impact the region’s future. The author warns of the severe implications of failure, highlighting the urgency to act before opportunities for peace, such as a two-state solution, disappear. Recent developments indicate a slight hope for peace, particularly as hostages are released and people begin to return home after conflict.
The Middle East is either going to be reborn as a strong region where normalized relations, trade and cooperation are defining objectives or disintegrate into a few solid nation-states.
This is one of those rare moments when everything in the Middle East is in play and everything is possible, and right now, everyone is waiting for you.
The consequences of failure will be utterly hellish. It's the Nobel Prize or the booby prize.
Before Israeli West Bank settlements totally choke off any possibility of a two-state deal, this really feels like a last train.
