Salem pointed out that US president Donald Trump’s expected visit to the Middle East will tackle terrorism, Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the Syrian crisis. Salem noted that the congress may approve acting against Iran, but they may perhaps reject to cancelling the nuclear deal with Iran. In regards to Qatar and Turkey’s role in supporting terrorism, Salem said that there is an extended dialogue with Doha and Ankara about what is happening in Syria. Salem noted that Russia is mainly concerned with the stability of Syria more than it does the Assad regime, and no one knows the possible arrangements that may take place between Putin and Trump in this regard. Regarding Libya, Salem said there is an international agreement on the UN’s management of the country, with the possibility of establishing a federal system.
