In broad new doctrine, Trump to assert Israel not cause of regional problems
[Jpost] ​Outlining a broad new foreign policy doctrine in a speech on Monday afternoon, US President Donald Trump will assert that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not at the core of the region's problems, administration officials say.

The policy statement is not new, either from Trump or from his predecessors, all of whom have said that peace between Israelis and Palestinians would benefit the wider Middle East whilst separating out the effects of their conflict from the problems of terrorism and extremism ailing the Arab world.

Trump will note that instead of being a primary irritant in the region, Israel has proven itself an asset to moderate Arab governments seeking prosperity and reform.

Over the summer and throughout the fall, several senior administration officials described the president's prioritization of Israeli-Palestinian peace as a lofty goal with "many positive benefits" for the region as a whole. The administration hopes to link a Palestinian peace deal with a broader regional agreement, understanding that the former must follow the latter.

Presidents of both parties have cast the conflict as an agitant.
