The Axios news website reported on Thursday evening, quoting informed sources, that despite Trump’s desire to have “familiar faces” in his national security team, he is not looking for “the return of former generals in his team and prefers businessmen, managers and people loyal to him.” gives.”

Barak Ravid, the correspondent of this American media, added: “Trump is looking for ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.” On the other hand, he has expressed his desire to end the war in Gaza and Lebanon in public and to his relatives before his inauguration ceremony.

According to this news site, “Richard Grenell”, the former US ambassador to Germany, is one of Trump’s main options for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Axios also wrote: “Given the Republican majority in the US Senate, any attempt to block Garnell’s appointment is expected to be thwarted.”

Ravid wrote, quoting 2 informed sources: “The other 2 options of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are Bill Hagery, the US ambassador to Japan during the Trump era, and Robert O’Brien, Trump’s national security adviser.”

Axios also wrote: “The name of Morgan Ortegas, the former spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is also being heard for taking a senior position in Washington DC or acting as an ambassador in an important position.”

This news site continued: “Trump’s main choices for the Ministry of Defense are Mike Pompeo and Michael Waltz. Waltz could also be appointed as the head of the CIA or a senior defense security official. Tom Cotton is also among the names heard for a top position in the field of defense security and intelligence, but he has told Trump that he will not accept any position in his cabinet.

According to the report of Axios, another former official of the Trump administration who may work again in his new administration is “Brian Hook”, the former representative of the US in Iran affairs.

“Hook could get a senior position in the State Department,” a senior official told the news outlet.

Axios also wrote: “Grenell and Waltz could also serve as White House national security advisers.”

But a former senior Trump administration official told the news outlet that predicting how Trump’s cabinet will be formed is “difficult.”

Ravid also wrote: “In the first Trump administration, the Middle East case was managed by Trump’s senior advisors and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and the person who designed the peace plan between Israel and Palestine and the Abraham Accords. “Kushner has stated several times that he is not seeking office.”

He added: “But Trump’s victory and the current crisis in the Middle East and an opportunity to normalize relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv can change Kushner’s opinion.”

The Axios reporter refers to the effort to normalize relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime, while Saudi officials have always emphasized that without the formation of an independent Palestinian state, any normalization of relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv is out of the question.

This news site also reported that David Friedman, the ambassador of Trump’s first administration to the occupied territories, could receive a new position in his second administration.

Avi Berkowitz, one of Kushner’s close collaborators in the Ibrahim deal, can also appear in the West Asia team of Trump’s second administration.
