In a wary Middle East, gloom is the only certainty after the US election
As Israel-Gaza war drags on and US-Iran relations hit new lows, weary residents hold little hope for peaceful future no matter who the next president is
In the Middle East, scepticism continued to hang over the US presidential election amid doubt that the results could significantly impact the region, especially the war-torn Levant, a reflection of long-standing disappointment in Washington’s foreign and domestic policies.
During their respective campaigns, and based on their own records, neither candidate has provided a promising plan that could inspire hope for meaningful change in Middle Eastern relations.
US President Joe Biden’s peace plan for the Israel-Gaza war has shown no significant result; moreover, the country’s continued military support for Israel has angered Arab and Persian people inside and outside America. The Democrat’s harsh stance towards Gulf countries over poor humanitarian records has cast a long shadow on their alliances. It is widely believed that Harris would follow Biden’s policy in the region.
