Trump, Abbas & New Middle East Policy

President Trump's recent initiatives to change the Middle East chaos of the Obama era to one with a little more stability appears to be moving forward. Stabilizing Syria is requisite for rolling back ISIS, letting Iraq reconstruct and move ahead as it would and moving toward some sort of Israeli-Palestinian rapprochement strong enough to create a viable political temporal status. Nothing is ever final in a sense, except death perhaps, so I demure from using the 'final status' or 'final solution' phrases that have proven erroneous or even evil before.

Arming Syrian Kurds so they might help in the fight against ISIS and perhaps create some sort of unity in forming Kurdish regions equivalent to that of Iraqi Kurds-even affiliated reciprocally, seems a good way to recover the flaw in the W.W. I settlement whereat the allies had promised the Kurds a state of their own. Rectifying old wrongs is generally useful if equanimity with contemporary affairs can be more or less kept intact.

A Lebanon pacified so far as not to present a threat to Israel might also result from the Iranian-Heballah/Syrian/Kurds inter-border regional interactions, and that could allow Israel to keep its present boundaries with Palestinian while enhanced economic and ecospheric recovery might follow that would transcend any state of affairs regarding borders with semi-military and terrorist hegemony.

It is encouraging that President Trump has taken the initiative to put together a paradigm approach that might grow. It is at the least interesting to observe.
