چکیده مقاله :
Trump's era also included Palestine as it witnessed a change in methods and approaches in all regional, economic, political, international and military relations. And it brought about a fundamental change in the approach of the American government's plan for Palestine. In the plan that the "Trump" administration presented under the title "Deal of the Century", the basis for solving the Palestinian issue is not the "two-state" plan, but the formation of a "Jewish national homeland" in Palestine. Contrary to the "Middle East Peace Process" which was followed by the Arab countries along with the United States and the European Union, and in which the solution of the Palestinian issue and the formation of an independent Palestinian state based on the borders of 1967 was supposed to be the condition and prelude to the normalization of relations between the Arab countries and the Zionist regime. Trump announced in the "Deal of the Century" that the normalization of Arab countries' relations with the Zionist regime is a prelude to solving the Palestinian issue. In this research, in search of an answer to the question, what was the basis of America's foreign policy in the Middle East during the presidency of Donald Trump, especially regarding the deal of the century? And what was the role of oil dollars in this regard? We reached this conclusion by using the descriptive-analytical method and by using Michael Brecher's chaos theory and crisis theory; that the American foreign policy in the Middle East during the presidency of Donald Trump, especially regarding the deal of the century, has been based on a unilateral settlement approach and on the basis of protecting Israel's interests. And moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and establishing relations between Israel and the Arabs have been among its achievements. In this regard, Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE provided economic support to this plan using their oil dollars.
