As Trump’s May 2025 visit to Saudi Arabia nears, and with normalization stalled by the Israeli war on Gaza, Washington is offering “rewards” in return for the kingdom’s expected trillion-dollar deal.

Donald Trump chooses Indonesia and Albania for Gazans deportation to spare Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II from potential domestic backlash.

The Algerian government, represented by its ambassador in Washington, has entered into a lobbying contract with an American firm, to enhance its image in the U.S.

Washington’s insistence on the Saudi-Israeli normalization stems from a perception that sees “Israel” as the "regional alternative," expected to fill the void as the U.S. shifts its focus to China and Russia.

Saudi authorities banned all forms of solidarity with Gaza during this year's Hajj, threatening pilgrims with deportation or arrest for raising the Palestinian flag or expressing support for Gaza.
