Trump and the Holy Land: 2016-2020 is the history of that effort. Starting with pledges Trump made during his presidential election campaign, it traces the development of what he termed “the deal of the century” from its inception to its final unveiling on 28 January 2020. The account of its evolution is set against the backdrop of a turbulent Middle East including such seminal events as Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his relocating the US embassy there. These, and much more, provide the setting for the slow emergence of the peace plan - events such as the defeat of the Islamic State caliphate, Trump’s withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, the centenary of the Balfour Declaration, and the discovery of vast gas and oil reserves in Israeli waters.
The story of the origins, the development, and the unveiling of the “deal of the century” can be seen and judged effectively only within the context of the ever-shifting political kaleidoscope. Trump and the Holy Land: 2016-2020 does just that.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This was a very interesting perspective on what might be another chapter in the history of American presidents and their involvement in this region. It was enjoyable to see many different "behind - the - scenes" moments in this four year story and look at how diplomacy in the Middle East looks under the current administration. I would like to see further comments on what has happened currently in the region with recent peace deals between Israel and various Arab nations. Maybe that could be expanded on in later editions or the paperback copy. Overall I found this to be a fascinating read and hope to see this added to the main histories on American-Middle Eastern relations.
