The first Trump administration's Middle East policy had two main elements: battering Iran's economy and attempting to isolate Iran by building closer ties between its main Arab adversaries and Israel.
The Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, symbolize a major breakthrough and included American promises of large weapons deals.
Trump's Middle East agenda is unclear, but he will inherit a more complex geopolitical landscape, where alliances have shifted and age-old tensions are either deepening or thawing.
The recent Hamas attacks in Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza may have lasting ramifications, affecting the region for years and reshaping future diplomatic efforts.
