The Republican convention in Milwaukee has sparked interest in the potential return of former President Donald J. Trump to the White House, prompting leaders in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt to assess the implications for their domestic and regional agendas. The leaders see advantages in a Trump presidency, given their previous warm relations with him. In particular, the impact of a Trump presidency on Washington’s approach to the war in Gaza is a central concern for these allies. For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Trump presidency would likely benefit his right-wing government, especially in the context of the conflict in Gaza. Trump has been vocal in his support for Israel’s actions in Gaza and has aligned closely with Netanyahu on Iran-related policies. Saudi Arabia also stands to benefit from a second Trump term, given the Trump Organization’s recent business deal in the kingdom and the close ties between the Trump family and Saudi entities. During his presidency, Trump had maintained warm relations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite criticism from some quarters about his handling of the Khashoggi murder and other issues. Egypt, too, enjoyed positive ties with the Trump administration, which was seen as less critical of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s government compared to the Biden administration. However, Egypt has maneuvered to maintain its regional influence and stability, irrespective of changes in U.S. leadership. Overall, the article highlights the potential impact of a Trump presidency on the Middle East and the calculations being made by key allies in the region.
