Ukraine, Gaza and China: Why Trump's Middle East tour takes on new importance
Monday, 12 May 2025 () Donald Trump's tour of the Middle East this week has taken on a new importance after a series of surprising developments on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and on trade between the US and China.
In a dramatic escalation of diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has responded to Vladimir Putin’s offer for direct peace talks in Turkey — but with a firm condition: no negotiations without a full, reliable ceasefire. Citing relentless drone strikes and broken truces, Zelensky declared there would be "NO IFs OR BUTs" when it comes to peace. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has called for immediate talks to end the "bloodbath" and labeled the moment a "potentially great day" for both nations. As European leaders demand unconditional ceasefire and warn of further sanctions, tensions are peaking.

Hamas has decided to release Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, the last known living American hostage held since the October 7 attacks. The announcement comes just hours after former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly demanded Alexander’s release, urging immediate talks. Sources say the decision is a calculated “gesture of goodwill” toward Trump, aimed at restarting stalled ceasefire negotiations and easing humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

Saudi Arabia is set to host the Gulf-US Summit in mid-May during former President Trump’s second-term visit, with high-stakes announcements expected. Speculation is mounting that the U.S. may back recognition of a Palestinian state—without Hamas—in a move that could realign the Middle East. Economic deals, including tech and nuclear cooperation, are forecast to surpass $400 billion. With all Gulf leaders in attendance (except King Salman due to health), analysts predict this summit may reshape U.S.-Saudi ties and the regional power balance.

Iran’s IRGC Chief Gen. Mohammad Salami has issued a stern warning: Iran will strike any territory used to target its interests. His remarks come during the unveiling of a secret underground drone facility, amid escalating threats from Israel and the U.S. over Iran's nuclear program. With hypersonic missiles in play and talks stalled, Salami declared Iran’s unmatched readiness for full-scale war. He warned Israel of a devastating response worse than Operation True Promise if provoked. Tensions in the Middle East are rapidly intensifying.
