A commentary published on Thursday argues that United States President Donald Trump functions as a biased mediator in Middle Eastern conflicts and suggests Russia could serve as a more impartial broker. The analysis criticizes Trump's appointment to lead a Board of Peace for Gaza following a 20-point proposal announced on September 29, 2025. The author contends that Trump's historical support for Israel undermines his credibility as a neutral arbiter in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
The piece notes that Washington has provided an estimated $298 billion in inflation-adjusted aid to Israel through January 2025. Russian engagement in Syria demonstrates Moscow's capacity for regional mediation while maintaining relationships with both Israel and key Muslim states, according to the commentary. The analysis suggests Russia possesses greater legitimacy than the United States to address underlying causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that American proposals have neglected.
