Restoring Regional Momentum and Building an Economic Axis that Defeats Hamas and Terror

The global system is standing at a sensitive yet promising moment. President Donald Trump is once again shaping the regional agenda, and many countries are aligning themselves with his leadership out of recognition for the economic power and strategic vision behind the Abraham Accords.
Yet the war in Gaza and the paralysis of the Israeli government have slowed progress. Trump must allow the region to move forward independent of Gaza, with full understanding that time favors the opponents if decisive action is not taken.
The solution lies in a new wave of peace agreements, stretching from Europe to the Gulf and from Asia to Africa.
Trump must announce these agreements now.

Turkey Must Receive a Strategic Role in the Process

Turkey is the only land bridge connecting the Middle East to Europe. Without renewed stabilization of relations with Ankara, any future economic corridor will suffer, and the entire concept of linking Asia, the Gulf, and Europe will be delayed.
Turkey must therefore receive a position of honor within the peace and development framework.
It is not merely another state. It is a central pillar in the economic bridge connecting three continents.
Once Turkey joins the peace architecture, a continuous land route will open that accelerates investment, trade, technology, and transportation between the Gulf and Europe.
Without Turkey, the vision of a new corridor running through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, and Syria toward Europe remains incomplete.
With Turkey, the corridor becomes stable, continuous, and economically transformative.

Creating Regional Momentum that Does Not Depend on Gaza

Israel is stuck in a paradox: a continuing war on one hand and a lack of decisive resolution on the other.
The more Israel hesitates, the more the regional system loses precious strategic time.
Trump must move forward regardless of developments inside Gaza.
Announcing peace agreements with Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Malaysia, or even Pakistan and Afghanistan would create a new reality.
This reality will continue to develop even if Israel has not yet removed Hamas from Gaza.
The central point is simple: the nation leading the region sets the pace.
If Israel is immobilized, the United States must take the reins.

A New Economic Axis Will Crush Hamas and Its Terror Infrastructure

The true defeat of Hamas is not only military but economic.
When a regional axis emerges that links the Gulf, Turkey, the Mediterranean, Europe, and Africa, Hamas is reduced to a marginal force surrounded by overwhelming interests that no longer tolerate its existence.
Such regional development will deprive Hamas of political and financial oxygen.
Hamas cannot survive when the surrounding states are focused on investments, infrastructure, trade, and technology.
It becomes everyone’s interest, including that of Arab states, to weaken it.

The United States Will Lead a New Global Trade Corridor

President Trump’s strategic vision for the coming years must include:
Movement of goods from Asia to Europe via Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Syria, and Turkey.
A major energy corridor linking the Strait of Hormuz to the Mediterranean.
A large agricultural chain serving the Middle East and Africa.
A network of water, health, and transportation infrastructures capable of reshaping the region.
Only President Trump has the capacity to build such a system.
The world is already waiting for this leadership.

The Abraham Fund Is Ready to Deploy the New Regional Economy

There are already fully developed projects prepared for implementation:
• Advanced medical systems
• Energy and natural gas infrastructure
• Large scale agricultural production
• Water and desalination facilities
• Smart transportation systems
• Logistics and supply chain hubs
• Innovation and technology cities
• High tech and trade corridors

The Abraham Fund is ready to integrate Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and additional states into a shared economic framework.
Once President Trump announces the new peace agreements, regional projects can begin coordination within weeks.

A Broad Peace Initiative Will Strengthen Trump’s Position as a Leader Who Creates Rather Than Reacts

In a world where states are moving through economic uncertainty and security instability, President Trump will reinforce his image as a leader who builds systems instead of waiting for circumstances to dictate his actions.
Announcing peace agreements with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and others will redefine the Middle East and strengthen Trump’s place in history.
This is a move that builds a new regional order based on economic integration rather than war.

Conclusion

The Middle East, Europe, and Asia stand at the edge of a geo economic transformation.
To make this transformation a reality now and not in a decade, President Trump must lead a new wave of peace agreements and bring Turkey into the system as a senior partner.
This is the historic opportunity to reshape the region, weaken Hamas, generate regional prosperity, and establish the United States as the leader of a new global economic order.
