Sami al-Arian, director of the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Istanbul Zaim University, says President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration could explain Israel’s move to re-engage in Gaza ceasefire talks.
He said what Prime Minister Netanyahu wants in exchange for a truce agreement with Hamas is for Trump to agree to Israel’s annexation of between 40-60 percent of the occupied West Bank. Israel’s leader also wants “something done about Iran’s nuclear power”, and “something out of the Syrian situation”.
