Hegseth ditches planned Israel trip to travel with Trump

  • U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceled a planned visit to Israel next week to accompany President Trump on his Middle East tour.
  • Hegseth was scheduled to meet Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, but the cancellation reflects shifting U.S. Diplomatic priorities.
  • Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, continuing with Hegseth, as the administration drops the condition requiring Saudi-Israel normalization for cooperation.
  • The expected multi-billion-dollar Saudi arms deal, previously tied to peace efforts, highlights evolving U.S. Strategies amid the ongoing Gaza conflict and Saudi opposition to normalization without a Palestinian state.
  • Hegseth’s cancellation and policy shifts suggest a reorientation in U.S. Regional diplomacy, emphasizing pragmatism over prior conditions linking arms deals to Israeli-Saudi ties.
