Analysts see challenges in changing the approach to international conflicts considering the possible return of Donald Trump to the presidency in the United States. Trump is markedly different from Joe Biden in his decisive attitude towards resolving the world's crisis situations.

One example of this change in approach is the situation in the Gaza Strip. The appointment of Steve Witkoff as special representative to the Middle East has already yielded important results, including an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages. This agreement is based on proposals that the Biden administration made last summer but could not implement, writes The Telegraph.

'Biden had contentious relations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who both praised and criticized him. This meant that the outgoing president had little leverage when it came to persuading Netanyahu to halt hostilities,' the publication states.

The consequences of the conflict in Ukraine are also drawing Trump's attention. He expresses his intention to quickly resolve this issue through personal negotiations with Vladimir Putin immediately after taking office. However, experts acknowledge that the situation is complicated due to opposing positions from both sides: Ukraine insists on NATO membership, while Russia is against it. Additionally, the escalation of hostilities complicates the possibility of peace talks.

The economic aspect of Trump's foreign policy also attracts attention. His desire to resolve conflicts has financial motives, namely to reduce the financial burden on American taxpayers. This is particularly important for Ukraine, where the U.S. provides significant aid compared to other Western allies, and for Israel, which receives substantial military support from the United States.
