EXPERTS: 'WILL END BATTLES IN GAZA, UKRAINE'
US president-elect Donald Trump is an anti-war deal-maker and this is bound to make Israel and Ukraine unhappy.
Tel Aviv and Kyiv will have to accept that the business tycoon-cum-politician sees the world in his own way, which to him is the only way, local experts say.
University of Johannesburg-based international relations analyst Dr Oscar van Heerden said Trump would never drop Israel. Instead he would continue to support Tel Aviv as a US ally.
But, said Van Heerden, Trump would deliver bad news to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: he must end the war in Gaza, return the hostages and prepare a new US-backed strategy for the Middle East.
"He will tell Netanyahu he has made his point through the war, he has wrecked the Israeli economy and has made Israel an unsafe place for the Jews and now it's time for him stop this war.
"Trump is different from Joe Biden who aided and abetted the genocide in Gaza," Van Heerden said.
