The president’s unconventional efforts have paid off in the Middle East, at least for now, Isaac Stanley-Becker and Vivian Salama report.
The Israeli cabinet voted to approve the first phases of Trump’s plan for peace between Israel and Hamas—and the path to get there was charged and personal for its key brokers. “Traditional diplomatic methods were eschewed in favor of family anecdotes, long-held assumptions thrown out by people better steeped in business than in international relations,” Stanley-Becker and Salama write.
Stanley-Becker and Salama spoke with 10 officials from the United States, Israel, Arab nations, and Europe, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing talks.
“Trump was able to reach a breakthrough in peace talks by leveraging strong ties with Israel and with the Arab Gulf and Muslim countries that act as guardians of the Palestinian cause, officials on all sides of the conflict told us,” Stanley-Becker and Salama write. “Applying his bellicosity in service of peace, the president made dissent from Washington’s preferred path too costly to bear.”
“Did Trump succeed by pressuring Netanyahu in a way that his predecessor refused to do? Or did Israel simply degrade Hamas so badly that the terrorist group had no choice but to agree? Both factors seem to have played a role,” Stanley-Becker and Salama report. “Did Arab countries sway Hamas, or did the monarchies push Trump to change his stance? Both, again, seem to have been factors.”
“Now the question is whether the swap of hostages for prisoners unfolds as planned, and whether this week’s diplomatic success will amount to anything more than a blip in the fighting,” Stanley-Becker and Salama continue at the link in our bio.

I hate the guy. I think he’s a terrible president, and I think he’s a comfortable contender for the worst one since the founding of this nation. And it kills me to admit that he has managed to pull off some seemingly impossible feats when it comes to peace for Israel. Between this deal, which is startlingly reasonable, and the Abraham Accords, it seems to be the only thing for which he can be pointed to as an example of success.
And it is even worse that *the Democrats and less shit Republicans could totally have done this with the slightest effort.*
Really. Abraham Accords were, „what if we used economic incentives to encourage peace and cooperation?“ *Looks at the peace deal between Egypt and Israel* Yup, pretty normal. This deal was as predictable as they come! Hostages for a ton of prisoners, Israel pulls back, say others will oversee Gaza. There was nothing stopping the Biden administration from pressing for to exactly this!
