Trump aims to drum up financial support for the US with his Middle East trip, but Iran and Gaza also hang in the balance.
United States President Donald Trump plans to tout trillions of dollars of Arab investments in the US as a major achievement, but other issues are at stake, says University of Maryland professor Shibley Telhami.
Israel is threatening to further destroy the Gaza Strip unless progress is made in its ceasefire talks with Hamas. Meanwhile, Israel has refused to allow any food to enter Gaza – home to more than 2 million Palestinians – for more than two months.
And despite Israeli objections, Trump may soon be able to reach a deal with Iran on its nuclear program.
