Trump Appoints Family-Connected Massad Boulos as Middle East Adviser

Massad Boulos, Donald Trump's new Middle East adviser, emphasizes the importance of a roadmap to Palestinian statehood as a key factor in establishing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This stance is significant given Trump's close ties to the Israeli right, which opposes Palestinian statehood. Boulos suggests that Saudi Arabia's agreement with Israel could lead to normalization with other Arab countries, expanding the Abraham Accords. Despite opposition from figures like Netanyahu and Trump's appointees, Boulos highlights the need for a clear policy on Palestinian statehood under Trump's administration.
