Hi, Mokantz - The simple fact is that no one has any idea how Trump and his team will approach the Middle East. It's difficult to imagine that the people who were so wrong about this year's election now know what will happen halfway across the world. 

I'm glad NCR is addressing the Middle East, although I wish they would do actual reporting rather than run opinion pieces by folks with a clear agenda. That's what FOX News does. 

Wishing you and everyone here a blessed Christmas and New Year. - Monica.
