How Trump worked a Mideast miracle with his two-sided ‘America First’ doctrine
Middle East,Donald Trump,Ceasefire
President Trump has performed nothing short of a miracle by halting the war in Gaza and securing the release of 20 precious souls who had been languishing in Hamas captivity since Oct. 7, 2023.
Trump’s efforts were greeted with jubilation and relief in Israel — and amazingly, in Gaza as well.
The cease-fire is the first step in a larger peace deal that could reshape the Middle East and end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for good.
This alone would have been enough for us — Dayenu!, as we Jews say on Passover.
But Trump’s achievement is all the more extraordinary: His diplomatic breakthrough won’t cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars.
