A bit bored, frankly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2543\" data-end=\"2762\">Trump is scheduled to visit the Middle East next week, with stops in Saudi Arabia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/24\/qatars-role-in-mediating-middle-east-peace-a-diplomatic-success-amidst-regional-challenges\/\">Qatar,<\/a> and the UAE. A major escalation in Gaza would complicate the trip and highlight Trump\u2019s failure to deliver the peace he promised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2764\" data-end=\"2953\">Still, Trump may welcome Israeli talk of a final, crushing blow to Hamas. Netanyahu reportedly told him that his military commanders believe they are entering the \u201cfinal stages\u201d of the war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2955\" data-end=\"3117\">Trump may also tolerate Israel\u2019s excessive use of force.

Makovsky, who recently attended meetings with senior Israeli officials, confirmed this understanding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4164\" data-end=\"4283\">Trump\u2019s attention has also shifted toward emerging diplomacy aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4285\" data-end=\"4554\">In a Monday statement, National Security Council spokesman Bryan Hughes said Trump \u201cremains committed to ensuring the immediate release of hostages and ending Hamas rule in Gaza,\u201d adding, \u201cHamas bears sole responsibility for this war and the resumption of hostilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4556\" data-end=\"4860\">Another sign of waning U.S. involvement is the changing role of Trump\u2019s special Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
