Joe Biden’s approach to the Middle East will likely be very different than Donald Trump’s. But should it be? For some, the Trump legacy was the right approach: A unorthodox style that resulted in a host of political and diplomatic victories, including normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab states. But others see the last four years as a failure of strategy and leadership that undermined America’s credibility abroad. So, as the Biden team gets going, we debate the motion: In the past four years, did America get the Middle East right?
