“I tend to agree Trump has opened a negotiation with this volley. But what he’s done with it is put down a marker that transcends what the tool itself (chip, incentive, disincentive, etc) is about. His message loud and clear is that the US is taking this situation on as a national interest, and negotiations will […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Feb. 6, 2025 “I emphatically don’t think he is writing guarantees for Israel’s behavior. The guarantee he’s writing is that Israel’s stake in the question is under our protection.

Lee Smith Tablet, Feb. 5, 2025 “Trump is right to see both Egypt and Jordan as paltry constructions with little-to-no ability to project force on America’s behalf,” Yesterday, President Donald Trump single-handedly collapsed the most destructive idea of the last hundred years—Palestine.

John Podhoretz Commentary, Feb. 5, 2025 “Yesterday, Trump asserted the will of the United States as the world’s most powerful, richest, most influential, and most dominant nation in saying something must be done about Gaza, here’s what needs to be done, here’s who’s going to pay for it, and here’s who’s going to manage it […]
Elliot Kaufman WSJ, Feb. 5, 2025 “The scandal isn’t that displaced Palestinians now could be “transferred” voluntarily out of Gaza; it’s that they have been forced to stay there—as Hamas’s shields during the war and among the ruins in its aftermath.” President Trump shocked the world with his proposal to resettle Gazans in nearby countries, […]

Lazar Berman Times of Israel, Feb. 5, 2025 “If Netanyahu continues his approach of backing Trump’s ideas to stay in his good graces, he could undermine Israel’s alliances with Jordan and Egypt, with nothing to show for it.” As is often the case with Donald Trump, there were plenty of headline-worthy statements that came out […]
Alex Traiman JNS, Feb. 5, 2025 “I believe, Mr. President, that your willingness to puncture conventional thinking that his failed time and time again, and today, your willingness to think outside the box with fresh ideas. … You cut to the chase; you see things others refuse to see.” U.S. President Donald Trump, sitting alongside […]
