No, Trump will not be worse than Biden for Palestine and the Middle East (www.aljazeera.com)

Yet a closer look at US foreign policy over the past eight years reveals that nothing fundamental will change for the Palestinian people and the region as a whole. This is because President Joe Biden’s administration in effect continued the policies of the first Trump presidency without major changes.

Biden's loyalty was free and 110%.

trump always comes with a price and since every country surrounding Israel hates them and is already allied with Russia....

It's a price that's probably too high to pay for Bibi.

With trump in the WH either outright helping or keeping America out of it, China and NK helping, Ukraine is kind of fucked.

If Putin can hand the ME Israel, then they'll back him in Ukraine too.

Either NATO steps up and it's WW3 or Ukraine is fucked.

I think you underestimate how much Trump hates Muslims.

Tell me again, which country paid that idiot to enact the Muslim ban?

It’s a price that’s probably too high to pay for Bibi.

First, it's likely something he'd get for free anyways. Second, he's already shown that he'd be willing to pay any price to continue the war in Gaza - even giving up on the hostages as their families demand more efforts be made on their return.

If Putin can hand the ME Israel, then they’ll back him in Ukraine too.

Depends on what you mean by "back" - maybe in terms of not publicly denouncing the Ukraine invasion but pulling a North Korea seems less likely...

Could you clarify this?

Either NATO steps up and it’s WW3 or Ukraine is fucked.

There's a third option, the EU steps up without use of nuclear arms and embraces the parts of unoccupied Ukraine. That becomes untouchable, and then from a place of greater security, Ukraine's battle turns to restoring what was taken, to take that back. (Well, this was largely already the focus, but the embrace prevents a major turn in Russia's favor.)
