conflict end? One word: Trump.
“When Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya first saw President Trump’s plan for peace in Gaza, which demanded his group disarm with few concrete steps to ensure Israel would end the war, his immediate reaction was no,” explains the Wall Street Journal. The proposal, which Israel rewrote and Qatari and Egyptian officials delivered, was nothing like what Hayya expected. Still reeling from Israel’s recent attempt on his life, Hayya told them that Hamas wouldn’t release hostages without firm guarantees to end the war. “But two days later, Hamas came back to Arab mediators with a yes. The deal hadn’t changed. The pressure on Hamas had.”
… Trump’s strikes forced every player in the region to rethink their strategies. He showed he was willing to use military power to protect American interests, something the Biden administration never demonstrated. Joint U.S. and Israeli resolve against terrorism pushed regional stakeholders to their breaking point, leaving Hamas without any meaningful support.
Like ALL humans, HAMAS responds to sticks and carrots. It would be amazingly stupid to think otherwise. Yet that is exactly what “Biden” did! We didn’t need new policies, we needed a new President!
In the end, the Israel-Hamas war didn’t end because of some diplomatic finesse from the Biden administration; it ended because Donald Trump made it happen. He changed the entire strategic landscape of the Middle East, stripping Hamas of its leverage, isolating Iran, and proving that American power still matters.
