RT Op-Ed Argues There Is No Daylight Between Trump and Harris on Middle East Policy

An op-ed in RT by Robert Inlakesh, a political analyst, journalist, and documentary filmmaker currently based in London, states that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S. “has proven that whoever is in the White House, the West Asia strategy of the American government will remain on the same path to self-destruction. This is evidenced by Washington’s refusal to change course and accept compromise.”

Inlakesh notes that “Donald Trump’s campaign on the other hand has been bankrolled by Israel’s richest billionaire and Republican Party mega-donor Miriam Adelson, who contributed $100 million to his bid to recapture the White House.” He adds that “there are no signs that either candidate will fundamentally differ in their strategy towards the region; perhaps only on methods of implementation. They are both incapable of saying no to Israel and forcing their ally to do a deal with any Palestinian party. Neither seek a peaceful solution with Iran.”

Trump has recently distinguished himself by insisting that the U.S. should back Israel to “finish the job” in Palestine, and he has attacked both President Biden and Kamala Harris for being insufficiently pro-Israel.
