A New Path for Peace in the Middle East: Trump’s Renewal of Promise
By Jason Hall
November 24, 2024
Donald Trump’s ambitions to establish “the ultimate deal” for peace between Israelis and Palestinians have yet to be realized since his initial campaign in 2016. His presidency featured significant pro-Israel actions, such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and asserting Israeli control over the Golan Heights. However, his comprehensive peace plan introduced in 2020 faltered due to political gridlock within Israel, outright rejection from Palestinian authorities, and a strategic shift towards fostering normalization deals with several Gulf nations.
Renewing Commitment Amidst Current Tensions
As he campaigns once more for presidency in 2024, Trump has reiterated his commitment to achieving peace across the Middle East. He aims to resolve ongoing conflicts particularly impacting Gaza and Lebanon while further alienating Iran from regional politics. Although specifics regarding future policies remain ambiguous, Trump’s formation of a vigorously pro-Israel cabinet indicates potential continuity with past strategies.
Rep. Mike Waltz has expressed optimism about forging some form of agreement that would enhance stability throughout the region. Meanwhile, Karoline Leavitt emphasized that Trump intends to take on an active role as “America’s negotiator of choice,” especially concerning ongoing hostage situations.
Could Trump’s previous “peace-to-prosperity” framework inform negotiations in today’s significantly altered environment?
The Foundations of Trump’s 2020 Proposal
In September 2020 at the White House alongside Jared Kushner, Donald Trump unveiled a complex peace plan designed primarily under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration. While it attracted support from Israel’s right-wing factions eager for resolution without territorial sacrifices—particularly regarding settlements established post-1967—the proposal also maintained commitments toward supporting Palestinian aspirations for statehood.
This plan recognized almost one-third of occupied West Bank territories—including major settlement areas—as part of Israel while proposing a demilitarized state for Palestinians spread across lands similar in size to both Gaza and the West Bank—conditional upon Hamas disarmament and halting payments made by Palestinian authorities related to imprisoned insurgents.
Moreover, it suggested infrastructural development through newly built transportation links between Gaza and West Bank regions along with $50 billion earmarked by various Arab states aimed at strengthening Palestine’s economy—and transforming its infrastructure.
An Evolving Diplomatic Landscape
The last four years have dramatically reshaped diplomatic possibilities following Netanyahu’s signal that could be construed as an endorsement for expanding Israeli settlements based on Trump’s original peace offer. This paved way toward normalization treaties known as the Abraham Accords during Trump’s concluding months at office—marriage agreements perceived as attempts circumventing traditional Palestinian leadership while reshaping diplomatic relations within the region entirely.
Contrastingly, efforts made by Biden’s administration showed some promise; attempts were initiated behind closed doors targeting Saudi Arabia—a key ally—to develop further agreements inspired by prior accords but faced uncertainty after hostilities reignited later on Oct 7 when Hamas attacked Israel which intensified existing conflicts including escalating tensions with Hezbollah forces nearby.
Recent polls indicate declining public support among Israelis concerning concessions made towards creating an independent Palestinian entity; conversely among Palestinians confidence remains low regarding any fruitful outcomes emerging through collaboration under upcoming proposed negotiations initiated chiefly by former President Trump whose stance may induce skepticism moving forward amongst conflicting parties now assessing their positions carefully given events that have transpired recently make negotiations exceptionally delicate going forward should these characters resume
