Trump's Unpredictable Strategy

Trump's approach in the Middle East appears erratic, evoking Nixon's 'madman theory' where unpredictability might serve as a deterrent to adversaries. While claiming to aim for the withdrawal of U.S. involvement and an end to 'forever wars,' he simultaneously suggested extreme measures against the Palestinians, including ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Such statements could be interpreted as mere bluster to support Netanyahu's failing stance, highlighting the precarious balance Trump seeks to maintain in regional power dynamics. This unpredictability raises concerns about political stability, not only for the U.S. but for its allies in the region.
