Preparing the Matchmaker, Despite a Difficult Marriage

Donald Trump is attempting to maintain a balance between Benjamin Netanyahu and Tayyip Erdogan, even seeking to act as a 'matchmaker' between them. Despite the two leaders being in constant competition for dominance in the region, Trump believes their differences can be bridged. This effort is being made despite the fact that their plans do not converge, and despite the possibility of their actions being directed against countries such as Greece and Cyprus. Greece and Cyprus are at the center of this power play, with Turkey seeking to limit their actions and Israel trying to build collaborations with them. Trump, despite his exaggerations, seeks to maintain a balance of power in the region.
