Donald Trump's Middle East Friends Brace for Joe Biden - Bloomberg:
Rising from the rocky terrain of the Golan, a sign welcomes visitors to the future site of “Trump Heights.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new settlement there to thank an American president who broke with international convention to endorse Israeli sovereignty over Arab land. Yet one of the settlement’s main organizers is already warning that Donald Trump’s name could be replaced.
“It depends on his place in history,” says Uri Heitner, a campaigner for Israeli settlement of the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war. “It could become a cause for shame.”
From the early months of his administration, Trump seemed to offer Israel and regional allies Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Turkey the foreign policy shifts they desired, finding personal affinity with rulers criticized in Congress for human rights abuses.
