Trump is really pushing for Saudi Arabia and Israel to become friends. He thinks this will make the Middle East a safer place. He's hoping Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will agree to join the Abraham Accords when he visits the White House.

But it's not that simple. Saudi Arabia wants a Palestinian state first. Israel doesn't want that. Trump's plan for Gaza might be a way to make both sides happy. But it's a tricky situation.

Trump is optimistic. He thinks Saudi Arabia will join the accords soon. He believes the Middle East is changing in a way that makes peace possible. But others aren't so sure. The war in Gaza is still fresh in people's minds. And there are still many problems to solve.

The Saudis want more than just peace talks. They want the U. S. to protect them and sell them advanced fighter jets. But the U. S. is worried. They don't want these jets to end up in the wrong hands. And they don't want to upset Israel.

It's a lot to think about. Will Trump convince the Saudis? Will the Saudis convince Trump? One thing is clear: this visit is important. It could change the future of the Middle East.
