Jared Kushner's foreign policy overture has been aimed at uniting the Israelis and the Saudi-aligned powers in the mideast, to the explicit exclusion of the Iranians and their proxies like Palestinians. That's the whole point. We had decades of pussyfooting around with a three-way power dynamic of Israel vs KSA vs Iran, with America trying to tepidly reach out to the Iranians while in bed with the Saudis. The bold initiative of Trump was to take an axe to that entire peace process and just give up on the Iran deal and Iranian appeasement, normalize relations between the KSA and Israel and build a regional alliance against Iran. Instead Biden came along and froze the Trump era efforts, and then China filled the power vacuum by inserting itself to mediate between Iran and the KSA to try to patch that divide. After which, 3 years late, Biden was trying to revitalize the Saudi-Israeli process that Trump started and we were expecting an announcement in a matter of weeks or months
That's also likely a reason why Hamas, possibly at Iran's guidance, organized this attack, to try to scuttle the Saudi-Israeli relations.
Long story short.
If Trump make Israel and Saudi buddy buddy again
Continue with TPP and not tear it apart.
Work things out with Ukraine and Russia.
1. No war in mideast
2. No war in Ukraine
3. China keep quiet and loosen up bank regulations ( I will make more money)
4. Belt and Road via central Asia no more.
5. Taiwan China less quarrel.
