Trump's Unorthodox Approach Works Better In the Middle East

Sitting US President Donald Trump's recent trip to the Middle East seemed rather fruitful and productive, regarding his foreign policies to those critical regions. Trump has been using unorthodox approach to deal with allies and foes these days, which is rather unconventional to the realists in the international community. Based on the close-door information, Trump's teams are de facto divided by realists and neoconservatives. How should we evaluate his trip to the Middle East? How about the reactions fro Israel? How will BiBi balance his political and personal ties with the US? Professor Jamsheed K.
