Ghannoushi: Trump betrayed Gulf allies by advancing Israel’s agenda

Описание: Soumaya Ghannoushi argues that President Donald Trump has betrayed Gulf allies by advancing Israel’s agenda in the Middle East. She says Trump launched military operations without consulting Gulf states, dragging the region into a conflict they did not seek and then pressuring them to participate.

Ghannoushi points out the irony that US bases, intended to guarantee Gulf security, have instead turned the region into a frontline, making protectors potential targets. She adds that while Washington is pushing Gulf states to fight, the strategic benefits seem to favor Israel rather than the Gulf or the United States.
