Trump administration is undermining regional peace efforts: Analyst
Political analyst Xavier Abu Eid has told Al Jazeera that Egypt and Qatar will need to send a “very strong message” to the Trump administration, in their roles as Gaza truce mediators.
He says that Arab countries have come out with a “very strong, unified voice” by backing Egypt’s plan for reconstructing Gaza, an effort at regional security that the Trump administration is now “sabotaging”.
“The Arab world, we have to say it, is an ally of the United States. There is no member of the Arab League that wants to oppose the role of the United States in the world,” he said.
“But the messages that are being sent by the Trump administration are not those that someone who is a partner for regional stability and peace would be sending.”

Israeli politicians have cheered on the renewed attacks on Gaza, which have so far killed hundreds of people, including many children.
Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the return “to intensive attacks” on Gaza is a gradual process that had been planned since the new Israeli army chief of staff took office earlier this month.
He added the return to fighting will be “completely different” from before.
Meanwhile, far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, who resigned from his post as national security minister over the ceasefire deal, argued that returning to fighting is a “correct and justified step”.
