  • US President-elect Donald Trump announces his decision to appoint his former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus as his deputy Mideast envoy. Ortagus will work under Steve Witkoff, who was one of the first appointments Trump made.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's appointment of Morgan Ortagus, a former State Department spokesperson, as a deputy envoy to the Middle East. This move comes as part of Trump's strategy to influence Middle Eastern policy, particularly in relation to Israel and Palestine. Ortagus, who has experience in the region and a background in national security, is expected to assist in negotiations and policy formulation. Trump commented on the appointment with his characteristic ambiguity, stating, "Let's see what happens," reflecting his approach to foreign policy which often involves high-profile appointments to signal shifts in policy direction. The appointment has stirred discussions on its implications for U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, especially given Ortagus's previous roles and her potential to shape U.S. relations in this volatile region.
