President Donald Trump has returned to the United States after a brief whirlwind trip to the Middle East last week. He met with the interim Syrian President Ahmad al Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al Jolani, a US and UN-designated terrorist and the former leader of a branch of Al Qaeda who not so long ago had a ten million bounty on his head sanctioned by the United States Government which they scrapped in 2024.
President Trump met with Ahmad al Sharaa on Wednesday, May 14, in Riyadh. Trump, who lifted sanctions on Syria, met Ahmad al Sharaa alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman and with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whom joined them virtually.
Of course the regime of Ahmad al Sharaa in Syria has been backed by Erdogan who in reality wants to control Syria to give him access to Israel.
Ahmad al Sharaa Earlier this year disbanded his terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al Sham. Trump wanted him to join the Abraham Accords, however, Ahmad al Sharaa did not commit himself to signing.
Trump told him that he must expel all foreign terrorists from Syrian soil and to assume responsibility for managing over a dozen detention centres holding some 9,000 suspected members of the Islamic State group. Despite al Sharaa’s refusal to commit to the US demands Trump said that he would order the lifting of sanctions on Syria at the behest of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, a major US policy shift.
After the meeting, Trump speaking to reporters on Air Force One said “al Sharaa is a young, attractive guy, a tough guy with s strong past, a very strong past, a fighter. He’s got a real shot on holding it together.”
Trump also said after speaking to Erdogan by phone whom Trump says is “very friendly with him” and who feels al Sharaa “has got a shot at doing a good job”, adding “it’s (Syria) is a torn up country.”
Erdogan of course is a strong advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood and has embraced its ideology. Like all of the Muslim countries are doing the man from Turkey is also playing President Trump and flattering his efforts to bring some kind of peace and economic gain to the nations in the Islamic world.
President Trump was also speaking with Qatar which has offered him the $400 million Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab 747-8 airplane, which would be used as U.S. “Air Force One,” the jet American president’s travel on when they fly around the globe. Trump said that it would be “stupid” for him to refuse Qatar’s offer.
In Doha America has its largest airbase with 8,000 soldiers stationed there. Qatar, like Turkey, also embraces the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and has entertained Hamas leaders in 2024.
One way that could have forced Qatar to make Hamas release the hostages would have been for Trump to threaten to withdraw all of the US military forces from Doha which would have left Qatar open to missile attacks from Iran.
Turkey also has hosted Hamas leaders in 2024. Both Qatar and Turkey are implacable enemies of Israel. Political and economic prosperity seem to be the going thing now between the United States with e Islamic kingdoms on the Saudi Arabian Peninsula.
It has been noticed by many political leaders that in this somewhat of a whirlwind visit to the Middle-East President Trump did not visit Israel, conveying the impression that possibly America is shifting its policy of supporting Israel.
While it seems to some in the media and even some in Israel that the relationship with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is strained, this may not the case.
Added to this, President Trump has said that he does not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon but seems to have backtracked on his former statement that if Iran did not get rid of their nuclear facilities that “all hell would break loose.” What did he mean?
Well at present it seems he is seeking to implement sanctions against Iran while allowing the regime to use a very limited Uranium enrichment programme for domestic use only. Israel of course knows full well that the Iranian regime will not stop using Uranium to become a nuclear power in the region.
As for the threats from Iran chanted by supporters of the regime crying out on mass “death to Israel,” and “death to America,” these apparently have gone under the radar of the Trump Administration?
Possibly the Arab world is using some form of flattery with President trump knowing that he is a business man that knows how to make deals but possibly does not have the ‘insight ’ concerning the real intent of the Muslim world to conquer the western democracies for Islam.
Added to this, the Arab Kingdoms, and even political leaders in Europe in the UN and the EU, are still calling for a two-state solution which would see more massacres occur in Israel such as we saw on October 7th in 2023.
God Himself has clearly said in His Word that the nations that seek to carve up His Real Estate, being the Land of Israel from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River, will themselves be judged by Him in the winepress of His wrath (Joel 3:1-3, 12-13).
Those who seek to remove Jerusalem from its God ordained position in the nations will themselves been “ripped apart” (Zechariah 12:2-4).
We know that God is the God of Israel and that He has not finished with them as His people. While they are yet to pass through the darkest hour of affliction it has ever experienced including the Holocaust, the nation will be brought through its trouble to embracing the Messiah our Lord Jesus as Saviour and Lord, and after this see Him destroy their enemies and then inaugurate His Messianic reign for 1,000 years. Scripture in many places testify to this future event See (Jeremiah 30:1-10) (Isaiah 63:1-6) (Ezekiel 37:15-27) (Zechariah Chapter 12 & 14).
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has already been fighting with the IDF in Israel being the God of the armies of Israel (1 Samuel 17:45), and we may see very soon the demise and overthrow of the Iranian regime which scripture endorses (Jeremiah 49:34-39).
It has just been reported in an online reputable website that Prime Minister Netanyahu has suddenly come out with a statement that Israel will no longer accept military aid or weapons from America but will go it alone. Possibly this may be one of the reasons that President Trump did not visit Israel on this trip to the Middle-East?
This has caused “a tectonic shift” in Middle-East policy and in the mindsets of leaders of those around the globe that are involved economically with Israel.
It may well be that behind the scenes that President Trump and his administration actually want to see Israel become an independent nation not dependent on any other nation, and in doing this, they would be very valuable allies to America in the Middle-East.
So far Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration has not been reported in the mainstream media which for the most part are anti-Israel in their online reporting.
As for the Iranian Nuclear sights they may well be taken out by the Israelis and that without American military support. Also the IDF may well destroy Hamas in Gaza in an all-out offensive very soon even if America stays out of it. In fact the Israelis have already upped the ante on their military campaign against Hamas.
It may also be a factor in closed door communications between the two leaders of America and Israel that the Trump Administration and the people of America by and large do not want another war on foreign soil with American casualties piling up because of the fiasco that occurred in Afghanistan under the Biden Administration. If this is the case it would not necessarily imply that the relationship between the two leaders is not solid.
Another factor is that President Trump is a business man and wants to see America develop economically and part of that development lays in the way the United States deals with the Arab Kingdoms. The Abrahamic Accords was designed for this economic prosperity and peace in the whole Middle-Eastern region which would foster this economic relationship between East and West.
What it seems is that President Trump does not see or possibly does not want to see, blinded by his wheeling and dealing, that you cannot make deals with Islam!
Islam may be divided between the Sunnis and Shiites, and we need to realise also that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Ahmad al Sharaa are Sunni Muslims. The Sunnis make up the vast majority of Muslims globally, estimated to be between 87% and 90%. Shia Muslims, the second largest branch, constitute roughly 10-13%.
It is interesting to note from past history that Muslims will always fight each other unless they have a common enemy and then they will join forces in Jihad when faced with a common enemy.
The historic crusades witnessed this as did the attempted invasions of Europe by the Ottoman Turkish Empire which ruled for at least 600 years in the whole Middle-East including Israel. In the conflicts that occurred Jerusalem was centre stage.
Today the Muslim world wants to have the Jews gone and Jerusalem ruled by Islam. The status of Jerusalem is the central issue for Islam.
Concerning the situation in Iran the subject did not seem to come up in discussions amidst the wheeling and dealing and the pomp and ceremony of the Arab Kingdoms hosting the American President.
If Israel decides to take out nuclear facilities in Iran the Israelis will do it without permission from the Unites States because they know the deceptive mindset of Islam.
As far as Syria is concerned Ahmad al Sharaa dressed in his suit and tie and shaking hands with President Trump would not have changed in wanting to see minorities in Syria being killed and subjugated to Sharia Law. The Syrian regime is also Sunni as is Qatar.
Turkey is also Sunni and embraces the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood as well, being global domination by Islam, and no doubts the Turks want to control Syria which would give Turkish armed forces access to Israel.
Already the Turks have established military bases in Syria, some of which have already been hit by Israeli air strikes infuriating the man from Turkey.
The massive arms deal President Trump has brokered with the Saudis has happened because the Saudis are scared of Iran. Americans are tired of overseas wars with American soldiers being killed and Trump knows this and in his desire to want to make America great again would rather broker ‘deals’ with Islam rather than have American military involvement in the Middle-East.
America remembers the fiasco of Afghanistan under the Biden Administration. The western leaders need to realise or do not want to realise in doing any ‘deals’ that you cannot deal with Islam. “Taqiyya” is the name of the game with Islam.
Possibly President Trump in the midst of all the pomp, the ceremony and the heady euphoria of wheeling and dealing with the Muslim world, needs to take on board this message; “Beware of Muslims Bearing Gifts!”
