Stopping the war in the Gaza Strip will create favorable conditions for strengthening Trump's influence in the Middle East, and therefore potentially give him the opportunity to negotiate influence on world oil prices.Until now, even if Trump wanted to, he would not have been able to reach an agreement with the Saudis or other energy suppliers to the world market, because no one in the Middle East wants to even talk to Washington — as long as the United States, unlike many countries even in the West, supports Israel in its war."But if the war in Gaza ends, negotiations can start from a clean slate."Of course, stopping the war in Gaza will focus more attention on the war in Ukraine. After all, many politicians and a significant part of the concerned world community are now preoccupied with the salvation of Palestine.Therefore, the end of the war in Gaza is not only important for humanitarian reasons, but also in the direct strategic interests of Ukraine.By the way, I would venture to suggest that if the war in Israel ends, elections will be held very soon, and the agenda there will shift dramatically. The big question is whether Netanyahu will be able to retain power after everything that has happened in recent years.SourceAbout the author.
