Colin Clarke, Director of Research at The Soufan Group, has told Al Jazeera that Trump’s meddling with the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas risked backfiring. “My concern here is that the US injecting itself right in the middle of these negotiations and almost usurping the Israeli position, and Trump putting his thumb on the scale here, that it’s ultimately going to be counterproductive,” Clarke said. “He was unhappy with the slow pace of the negotiations, but again, these have been taking place on and off for the better part of 15 months.”
