Foreign policy rarely matters much in US presidential elections, but this year could be an exception.

The outcome of the election on 5 November will affect the Middle East in unpredictable but potentially momentous ways.

The spread of war and the outbreak of open conflict between Israel and Iran is likely to affect the presidential campaign far beyond Michigan .

It could be this election’s fatal “ October surprise”.

With Trump back in the White House , Netanyahu would not have to deal with US resistance to greater Israeli control of the West Bank .

The Saudi monarchy may also be waiting for Trump ’s return before signing a diplomatic normalisation agreement with Israel , though the current hostilities make such a deal unlikely in the near term.
