US President-elect Donald Trump is handing US Middle East policy to people who “see God as some kind of cosmic real estate agent,” argues Stephen Juns, chair of the University of San Francisco’s Middle East Studies Program.
As for Trump’s “who cares” threat that “there’s all hell to pay in the Middle East” regarding Israeli hostages, Junes tells host Steve Clemons that the situation for the Palestinians is likely to get worse.
But at least Trump can’t “pretend he’s trying to reach an equal, just peace” like his predecessors, Zunes says.
