President Trump’s Middle East plan centers on strengthening the Abraham Accords, expanding alliances with Sunni states, and enabling the emigration of Gazans to third countries as a way to reduce tensions and enhance Israel’s security.
The proposal envisions regional stability through sharply limiting Hamas’s influence, allowing Gaza — without Hamas — to become a hub for trade and tourism, supported by major Gulf-state investment that would boost both the Palestinian and regional economies. The plan also deepens economic and security cooperation with Sunni governments, weakens the Shiite axis, and advances core American interests.
But as long as the ayatollah regime controls Iran, serious dangers remain. Iran, a longtime sponsor of terrorism, calls for Muslim unity — Sunni and Shiite — against Israel, seeking to undermine the Abraham Accords.
Hatred of Israel could replace the Shiite axis with a radical Sunni front, destabilizing Sunni governments around Israel and igniting a fundamentalist wave that tightens the noose around the region.
