Abstract

In recent years, the Middle East region has witnessed important events, and the advent of "Trump" can be considered one of them.

The United States was the most important sponsor of peace efforts between the Arabs and "Israel" and the most influential on the course of the conflict. Despite its continued bias towards the Israelis, the arrival of "Trump" to the presidency provided it with what no previous president had given. The peril here is the creation of a new status that does not end with the departure of "Trump", and the legacy left by "Trump" may contribute to more final decisions in the future that favor "Israel" and encourage it to more obstinacy and raise the grade of its demands, Conversely, curtailing the demands and rights of the Palestinians. On the level of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the era of "Trump" witnessed other aspects that are no less dangerous, which were translated into work on creating a peaceful surrounding environment for "Israel", which began with normalization with the UAE and did not end there. On the other hand, "Trump" violated international legitimacy decisions and the position of the previous US administrations that emphasized the status of the Syrian Golan as an occupied territory, and he issued a resolution recognizing Israel's sovereignty over Golan. Which surpassed even the Israeli  hopes.
