US in a delicate balance with allies Qatar, Israel
Qatar Prime Minister Donald Trump had dinner and Marco Rubio met with the US Secretary of State before his visit to Israel, and reflected the Trump administration’s attempt to balance the relations between Key Middle East allies.
Despite the tensions between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Rubio will come to Israel on Sunday for a two -day visit. The United Nations is an increasingly insulated country before making possible controversial debates on the creation of a Palestinian state against Netanyahu.
Rubio and Vice President Jd Vance met with Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar at the White House at the White House on Friday. Trump and private ambassador Steve Witkoff then had dinner with Qatar Premier in New York and went to commemorate the anniversary of the Trump 9/11 attacks.
After taking Israel’s struggle with Hamas to the Qatar capital, a delicate line between the two great allies is walking, where the leaders of the militant group came together to think about the US ceasefire proposal in almost two -year -old war in Gaza.
Qatar is a key mediator, and while the leaders promise to step forward, the next steps are uncertain for a long time to stop the war and release hostages from Israel.
Israel’s attack broke the hopes of Trump to achieve a wider Middle East Peace agreement with the anger of Saudi Arabia’s rulers, United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Trump removed him from the strike and promised to “not advance Israel or America’s goals” and will not be repeated to Qatar. The US also participated in a UN Security Council statement condemning the strike without mentioning Israel.
Trump’s Demirclad support for an Israeli government showing more and more international norms in the war released by Hamas on October 7, 2023 is an concern in the Gulf and a concern that Rubio will be forced to be handled on his journey.
With a potential sign of Trump’s unhappiness with Netanyahu, Rubio will meet the families of the hostages organized by Hamas, who is still against his new plans to invade Israel’s Gaza City in Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Rubio’s “return of relatives continues to be the first priority.”
The visit stopped with efforts to release a pledge and cease-fire agreement to end the Israeli-Hamas conflict in Gaza and proceeded with plans to occupy the Gaza City.
The department said that Rubio and Israeli leaders will discuss Israel’s “operational goals and goals” in Gaza and share attempts to persuade European countries not to recognize a Palestinian state.
Rubio is also expected to visit David, a popular archaeological area and tourism center built by Israel in the Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
It includes some of the oldest ruins of the 3,000 -year -old city. However, critics accuse the site’s operators of pushing a nationalist agenda at the expense of Palestinian inhabitants.
In 2017, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but the movement had no effect on the ultimate limits of the city.
However, the movement pleased the Israelites and angry the Palestinians. Only a few small countries have followed the case and the majority of the international community say that the status of the city should be solved by negotiations.
