"But the US president, as he is proving almost minute by minute in his current fast-paced Middle East trip, is an insistent deal-maker. And whether he’s still broadly empathetic to Netanyahu’s concerns or not particularly bothered by some of them, he’s moving ahead on a whole range of vital regional issues without including Israel on his regional itinerary, without arranging for an Israeli presence at his critical meetings, and without heeding Israeli concerns in an expanding number of his agreements" I find this part of the article a bit concerning. President Trump is a neutral mediator; he definitely has a bias towards some of the Middle Eastern rogue nations, but he is not weakening Israel's position; he is not a lobbyist for them. Also, he is giving Syria a chance for transparency and prosperity, as well as the other nations he has visited. If nations are economically stable, chances are there is peace... Isreal times is very nationalistic and should be read with a pinch of salt.
