Excellent and comprehensive report, Jeremy. Thank you!
Clearly the wild card in the unfolding game of Middle East relations is Trump. It's possible that he's bent on making deals with all major players in the region -- Saudi Arabia, UAE, Syria, Turkey, Houthis, and even Iran -- and will then force Israel's hand on Gaza.

The other wild cards are the Saudi monarchies who have successfully pulled Trump close with the hundreds of billions in deals and charmed his pants off with their luxurious settings. It is unlikely that they will sell out the 2 million Palestinians in any way -- either abandon them or take them in. And Trump certainly knows this.
The reasons for hope are the cracks developing between Trump and Netanyahu, the deals Trump is making with all others in the region, and the resistance and resilience of the Palestinians.
We're witnessing radical shifts in the relationships in the region and both Trump and the Arab states are unpredictable. I'm hopeful and prayerful.
