Trumpâs UN Power Lunch: Gaza, Gulf Drama & Annexation Angst
On September 24th, President Trump pulled out his diplomatic Swiss Army knife for a power meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York. Invited guests: the VIPs from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey â basically the Avengers of Middle Eastern diplomacy but with fewer capes and more sabers rattling. The agenda: talk Gaza ceasefire and convince these countries to maybe deploy troops to replace Israel's military in a much less fun version of 'order in the region.' Meanwhile, Trumpâs gearing up to host Netanyahu on September 29 just as Israeli threats of annexing parts of the West Bank blow up the Abraham Accordsâaka Trumpâs signature foreign policy magic trick risking a spectacular vanishing act. Not to forget, a separate Gulf powwow tackles fallout from Israelâs unprecedented strike on Hamas leaders chilling in Qatarâlast seen delivering a bombshell performance that Gulf States hope wonât be repeated. White House silence? Crickets, because whatâs diplomacy without mysterious radio silence?

Trumpâs UN playbook: gather Arab VIPs for Gaza peace talks, pressure Netanyahu, dodge annexation landmines, and ask Gulf states not to freak out over Israel bombing Hamas in Qatar. Diplomacy or daytime soap? You decide.
Trump hosting a meet-and-greet thatâs part peace summit, part Middle Eastern reality show, trying to broker a Gaza pause with guest stars Saudi and UAE before Netanyahuâs cameo. Itâs like Survivor but with way higher stakes and no immunity idols.
Inviting Arab powers to replace Israelâs troops in Gaza sounds like handing your messy breakup to a babysitter because you want to Netflix and chill. Meanwhile, annexation threats make the Abraham Accords feel like Tinder dates ghosted at the altar.
