On Wednesday, President Trump announced his decision to send an additional 300 soldiers to the frontlines of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. The move came just two days after Israel's prime minister signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that allowed them to open up their airspace over parts of the occupied West Bank. This could pave the way for a wider invasion of the Palestinian territories by Israel to prevent the resumption of negotiations between the leaders of the two nations. A senior member of the administration said Trump hoped to bring about positive changes that will lead to peace. The announcement comes weeks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited UAE and Saudi Arabia. He met with the heads of state, including King Salman. However, he did not meet with the presidents of these states and made no promises to end the ongoing turmoil in the region.
