"The recent Israeli-Turkish talks in Azerbaijan and the reported indirect Israeli-Syrian talks were probably encouraged by Washington as a way to get everyone on the same page and moving forward. The White House wants to push ahead with quick foreign policy wins that have tangible benefits, not strategic maneuvering with uncertain outcomes, even if that means sidestepping Israel in favor of outsourcing Middle East policy to Turkey and Saudi Arabia," writes The National Interest, a policy think tank closely aligned with moderate Republicans.
