Liberal New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman acknowledges that former President Trump has the potential to be a historic president due to his Middle East policy. Friedman suggests that Trump could broker a deal to establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel, preserving Israel as a Jewish democracy. He highlights Trump's previous plan for coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians and urges him to revive that initiative in the future. Friedman also criticizes President Biden for not publicly sharing his comprehensive peace plan for the region, resulting in increased isolation for Israel.
