During George H.W. Bush's administration, several factors influenced U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, including the end of the Cold War, the Gulf War, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Bush's approach was pragmatic and focused on maintaining stability in the region, especially with the threat of Iraqi aggression. His decision to form an international coalition to respond to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait demonstrated his commitment to multilateralism and diplomacy. However, some critics argue that his administration did not do enough to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leading to ongoing tensions in the region. Overall, I believe Bush's approach was largely successful in achieving short-term objectives, but may have neglected long-term solutions to regional conflicts.
