In the Middle East, scepticism continued to hang over the US presidential election amid doubt that the results could significantly impact the region, especially the war-torn Levant, a reflection of long-standing disappointment in Washington’s foreign and domestic policies.
During their respective campaigns, and based on their own records, neither candidate has provided a promising plan that could inspire hope for meaningful change in Middle Eastern relations.
US President Joe Biden’s peace plan for the Israel-Gaza war has shown no significant result; moreover, the country’s continued military support for Israel has angered Arab and Persian people inside and outside America. The Democrat’s harsh stance towards Gulf countries over poor humanitarian records has cast a long shadow on their alliances. It is widely believed that Harris would follow Biden’s policy in the region.
