June 12, 2018 -- The New Middle East


I came across a recent article in The New Yorker written by Adam Entous entitled, “Donald Trump’s New World Order.”  It is rather lengthy and detailed.  Some claims are made that are not verifiable.  However, it does paint a clear picture of a new constellation of nations (US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE) who have coalesced together and have been working to confront Iran.  Although Palestinian President Abbas has been left out, there is evidence that some are seeking the welfare of the Palestinians and to make things better, though the article ends with a suggestion that the Palestinians “seem to be the likely losers” in the coming “New Middle East.”  The article also has an audio option that allows viewers to listen to the report.
