3 - A pretty raw deal: Trump visits Qatar in May, gets billions of dollars in deals & the offer of a luxury jet. And what did Qatar get in return? Bombed by: Iran in June and Israel in September. https://t.co/XSiVqrGvNY

2 - Trump has shown that he doesn't truly care what Arab partners think, with this best exemplified in the issue of Palestine and the Gaza war - like ignoring its post-war plan on Gaza and rejecting the 2-state notion Saudi Arabia and others back. https://t.co/XSiVqrGvNY

1 - If you're putting 'America first', it means that even some of your closest friends and partners can be expendable - (including and perhaps especially in the Middle East). https://t.co/XSiVqrGvNY

"The bottom line of [Trump’s] policy still remains the same... [Trump] and his team have not crafted any clear diplomatic framework to bring this war to an end that makes sense for all of the parties involved,” MEI's @Katulis tells @washingtonpost. https://t.co/fWkNGEaTxO

In this week’s episode of Taking the Edge Off the Middle East, @georgetownprof and @milanimohsen, two leading experts on Iranian strategy, join @Katulis for a conversation about the evolution of the Islamic Republic's foreign policy. https://t.co/NBgc2GUn5b

In light of today’s Israeli strike on a Hamas target in Doha, we asked MEI experts @Katulis, @natansachs, and @mmabrouk to share quick takes on what this means for Israel’s strategy, US–Gulf relations, and the region’s shifting red lines. Here’s what they said ⬇️
