A US president openly arming a genocide is welcomed with red carpets, handshakes and blank cheques. Trillions are pledged; personal gifts are exchanged. And Gaza continues to burn. Gulf regimes have power and wealth. They have Trump’s ear. Yet they use none of it – not to halt the slaughter, ease the siege or demand dignity. In return for their riches and deference, Trump grants Israel bombs and sets it loose upon…
