Seth Leibsohn: Trump Puts Pressure on Egypt and Jordan

  • サマリー

  • Donald Trump is barely over a week into his presidency and is taking flak from the commentariat that his statements about Egypt and Jordan taking in displaced Arabs from Gaza and about releasing arms to Israel it paid for.

    Some have claimed he’s pouring fuel on the fires of the wars he was expected to quell. This is all wrong. When Trump put maximum pressure on Iran and made clear the US would stand with Israel in his first term, there was peace. It was Biden’s presidency that gave militancy its gas and a green light—by softening on and enriching Iran, by expressing weakness toward Russia, through callousness toward Americans being killed in Afghanistan and allowing the Taliban to take it over and—finally—by sending mixed messages regarding the US and our relationship with Israel.

    Strongly siding with allies (like Israel), and pressuring those who have long lived in the shadows of safe harbors for militancy (like Egypt and Jordan), is a big difference from the last four years—and it was the last four years that brought war.
