The social media post by President Trump made it sound straightforward. The United States would orchestrate a deal to end the war with Iran and, in exchange, a slew of countries across the Middle East and South Asia would join an agreement, called the Abraham Accords, establishing relations with Israel.
In fact, he said, that “should be mandatory.” But half of the countries he named — such as Egypt, Jordan and Turkey — already have relations with Israel. And the other half — including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan — have no interest in establishing them anytime soon.
As a result, the meandering ultimatum that Mr. Trump shared on Monday was met with a mix of silence and bemusement across the Middle East. Regional analysts said they were not even sure that they understood the rationale behind his proposal. Why would ending the war, which the United States and Israel initiated by bombing Iran on Feb. 28, provide an incentive to recognize Israel for countries like Qatar, which had lobbied desperately to prevent the war in the first place?

Mr. Trump even suggested that Pakistan — which has mediated between the United States and Iran to end the war — should join the accords.
In Pakistan, one of the world’s most populous Muslim-majority countries, officials and analysts greeted that call with a flat no. Pakistan does not recognize Israel, and its passports explicitly state that holders are barred from traveling there.
Pakistan’s defense minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, said on local television that joining the accords would clash with the country’s “fundamental ideologies.”

Always remember the Trump principle for negotiating a deal—ask for the stars, get the moon. Naturally, the NYT-wits never catch on.
Or else he just ran his mouth out of ignorance and wishful thinking.
No, that would be you.
He is always positioning.
Yep. Bent over for the zionists.
They dont catch on at all. Buffoons.

To be fair, it would be great of all the Middle East could coexist and not foment against each other—and us.
Why would he position himself to sound like a complete idiot?
I’ll take a wait and see on EVERYTHING the media posts.
To be fair, our interventionist foreign policy exacerbates Middle Eastern conflicts, to our detriment.
We'd do better to wash our hands of the place.
Is Truump perfect? Absoultely not, but at least he is a doer, and ore times than not his actions produce success. I disagree with Truimp trying to negotiate withIran. He should finish the job. I pray that he comes to that realization, while you pray for his defeat. I will always fiight against stupidity, and you are a poster child for that word. You possess it in spades.
One could ask you the same thing...
I’m baffled that the New York Slimes still exists.
You obviously didn’t understand 9 dimensional Parchesi or something like that
Iran is a client state.
This isn’t just about Iran.
