Opinion: How much longer will Arab leaders let Trump and Netanyahu run amok?

For the past few years, American democracy has been slowly moving towards a sort of techno-feudal financial oligarchy. 

With the second Trump administration, it is making a massive jump in that direction. It increasingly resembles a constitutional monarchy, where one of the pillars of the American political system - the separation of powers among the executive, legislative and judicial branches - is ever-more blurred. 

President Donald Trump is wiping out the US federal government’s employees with the supervision of his crown prince, billionaire Elon Musk. 

He also controls both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court is expected to be docile and sympathetic to his overhaul of the American political, economic and social system. 

The only feeble opposition comes from a few judges who are challenging some of Trump’s executive orders.

It is a situation that resembles some Arab monarchies, and from this point of view, it is interesting to watch the political dynamics between the US and Arab states in the framework of the tense situation in the Middle East, which hangs on two fragile ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza. Israel is accused of violating both.
