Video: Opinion | Is Trump the Dealmaker the Middle East Needs?

Veteran Middle East negotiator Robert Malley suggests that President Trump's unconventional and intuitive leadership style could make him uniquely suited to broker a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, setting him apart from previous United States presidents. Malley notes that Trump's unpredictability, willingness to use leverage, and lack of deep attachment to either side might allow him to take actions others could not. However, Malley also expresses concern that Trump's approach, driven by ego and narcissism, could pose significant risks. While Trump's break from traditional diplomacy is seen as necessary by some, there is uncertainty about whether his particular brand of leadership is the right fit for such a complex issue.
