Who is on Trump's Middle East team?
US President Donald Trump began his second term this year with a broad vision for the Middle East: ending the war in Gaza, promoting the Abraham Accords, strengthening political and economic ties with the Gulf and keeping Iran in check. Here are the people he has charged with implementing and shaping that agenda: Marco Rubio Secretary of State Marco Rubio is a traditional Republican with significant time spent in the Senate. He is in favour of assertive US foreign policy in the Middle East, being tough on Iran, and supporting Israel and the Gulf states. Although Mr Rubio accompanied Mr Trump on his first trip abroad to the Gulf in May, he has been oddly sidelined in foreign policy issues, particularly those in the Middle East. Last month, Mr Rubio was named interim National Security Adviser, replacing Mike Waltz. Steve Witkoff Steve Witkoff is the US special envoy to the Middle East. Before joining the Trump administration, the billionaire real estate developer and long-time friend of Mr Trump had no known diplomatic or Middle East experience. Mr Witkoff, 68, is now perhaps the most influential official impacting US policy in the Middle East. He played a key role in reaching the temporary ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which took place right before Mr Trump's inauguration. He is leading nuclear talks with Iran and worked with Omani mediators to secure a deal with Yemen's Houthis, who had been launching attacks on Red Sea shipping. Mr Trump also appointed him to lead negotiations on Ukraine. Morgan Ortagus was appointed to be deputy special envoy to the Middle East and was overseeing the Lebanon portfolio. However, she appears to have left the position or is about to. The State Department on Thursday refused to say who currently is responsible for the Lebanon file. "A whole host of people that are involved in this issue," department spokesman Tommy Pigott told reporters. "We have no personnel announcements to really announce at this time." Laura Loomer, who is close to Mr Trump, said on Thursday that Ms Ortagus had been terminated as deputy special envoy to the Middle East and was hoping to become ambassador to Saudi Arabia. During the previous Trump administration, Ms Ortagus was State Department spokeswoman. She has been an intelligence analyst at the Department of the Treasury and as a public affairs officer at USAID. She is also an officer in the US Navy Reserve. Tom Barrack Thomas Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, was recently appointed to also serve as special envoy to Syria. The appointment is critical after Mr Trump ordered the lifting of all sanctions on Damascus. Mr Barrack is a billionaire and a long-time friend of Mr Trump, and the grandson of Lebanese-Christian immigrants. Joel Rayburn Mr Trump recently nominated Joel Rayburn to serve as assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, the top Middle East position at the State Department. He would replace Tim Lenderking, who was appointed under president Joe Biden as special envoy for Yemen, and is now in the position as a caretaker. Mr Rayburn is a military veteran and seasoned diplomat focused on Middle Eastern affairs. He was in Mr Trump's first administration as a special envoy for Syria. He was also senior director for Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon at the National Security Council. The position requires Senate confirmation.

GE Aerospace's Aziz Koleilat on the forces powering the Middle East's aviation boom
Image: Supplied As the Middle East cements its role as a global aviation powerhouse, all eyes are on the region's rapidly expanding fleets, world-class carriers, and multi-billion-dollar infrastructure investments. In this interview, Gulf Business speaks to Aziz Koleilat, president and CEO of METCIS at GE Aerospace, to unpack the momentum behind the region's aviation ascent. From national strategies shaping air travel to the emergence of the Middle East as a future MRO hub, Koleilat shares insights on what's driving growth, the challenges ahead, and GE Aerospace's priorities as it marks its first year as an independent company. The Middle East has transformed into a major aviation hub. From your vantage point at GE Aerospace, what are the key factors driving this remarkable growth, and how sustainable is this trajectory? The Middle East's aviation story is one of incredible transformation. We've seen the region evolve from a mere stopover to a global aviation hub, with carriers competing to offer comprehensive networks and top-tier service. This sustained expansion is evident in the long-term growth figures, with the region achieving an average annual growth rate of 6.8 per cent, outpacing the global average since 2000. Looking ahead, the Middle East's commercial aviation market is poised for continued growth, fueled by increasing demand, the emergence of budget airlines, and substantial aircraft orders. The region's fleet is projected to expand at an annual rate of 5.1 per cent between 2025–2035, driven by the adoption of narrow-body aircraft. Long-term success, however, hinges on embracing more efficient practices and fostering technological innovation. Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are leading forces in the region's aviation sector. Can you elaborate on their distinct approaches and how they are shaping the future of air travel in the Middle East? Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are demonstrating a strong appetite for growth, but with distinct strategies. In Qatar, dramatic growth has been driven by Qatar Airways, as it has developed Doha into a global connecting point. In terms of available seat kilometres, Qatar Airways has advanced from 17th to 6th largest globally in 2024. Our recent agreement with Qatar Airways was the largest in GE Aerospace history. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 offers a compelling example of rapid growth in demand, with its strong emphasis on economic diversification through sectors such as tourism. This ambition is being realised through significant investments in infrastructure and the development of new tourism destinations. And in the UAE, a sustained model of aviation-driven growth continues to be fueled by a thriving tourism sector and the country's role as a strategic global connector. A recent report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) highlights the UAE's aviation sector contributed $92bn or 18.2 per cent to the nation's total GDP in 2023. This impact extends beyond direct employment, with the sector supporting 991,500 jobs across the wider supply chain, employee spending, and tourism activities. All three countries recognise that as the region prepares to host world-class events and welcomes an influx of tourists, the reliability and efficiency of its aviation infrastructure will be critical in reaching national development goals. The Middle East is poised to be an important global MRO market. What are the key drivers behind this trend, and what challenges and opportunities does it present for the region's aviation industry? The Middle East is indeed positioned well for the global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market, driven by a substantial order book. The ten largest airlines in the Middle East already have a combined order book of 795 aircraft to be delivered by the end of the decade, one of the largest regional order books. This presents both opportunities and challenges. It requires investment in skilled talent, advanced technologies, and efficient processes to meet the growing demand for MRO services. Looking beyond the immediate growth, what are the critical elements that will define the long-term success and sustainability of the Middle East's aviation sector? The future of aviation in the Middle East will be shaped by the effective use of digital solutions and the cultivation of a skilled workforce. Advanced data analytics can optimize flight operations, improve maintenance schedules, and enhance the passenger experience. Investing in training programs and attracting top talent will be crucial for ensuring that the region has the expertise needed to implement these technologies and drive innovation. A focus on STEM education and partnerships with universities and technical colleges will be essential for building a pipeline of skilled aviation professionals. As GE Aerospace commemorates its first year as an independent company, what is your message to the Middle East's aviation community, and what are your priorities for the region in the coming years? As We recognise the critical link between reliable infrastructure, efficient operations, and a seamless passenger experience. By understanding the unique challenges and opportunities in the region, we can collectively ensure its continued global success. We are committed to providing the technology and expertise needed to support ambitious national goals. Read:
