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, […]

Steve Apfel Balaam’s Curse, Feb. 6, 2025 “Who’d bet on the human rights industry supporting a peace plan and packing up?” No White House incumbent was better cut out than prickly Donald Trump to bring down the curtain on a conflict that has defied resolution. Shock and disgust followed his freaking plan to acquire the […]

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 […]
Shachar Kleiman Israel Hayom, Feb. 5, 2025 “The current hysteria echoes the paranoia surrounding Trump’s previous “Deal of the Century” initiative, which his administration promoted during its first term.” President Trump’s remarks triggered a barrage of denunciations from Hamas.

Dennis Ross and David Makovsky Foreign Affairs, Feb. 3, 2025 “Netanyahu, of course, cares more about staying prime minister than he does about pleasing Trump. But there is one issue on which Netanyahu may be willing to risk his government and face an election: Iran and its nuclear program.” Donald Trump begins his presidency with […]
Danny Zaken Israel Hayom, Jan. 22, 2025 “Israel is the US proxy in the mission to overthrow the Iranian regime,” he asserted, clarifying that “Israel will need to act independently, as Trump will not proactively deploy American troops in the Middle East – it goes against his principles as a president of peace.” In the […]

“To me, bringing the Accords to bear as an organizing framework for reconstituting Gaza is what the Abraham Accords were conceived for. They are supposed to meet that kind of challenge and purpose. They’re the antidote to the persistent dysfunction of radicalism seizing the Middle East by the short hairs and giving it perpetual whiplash.” – J.E. Dyer […]
J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan.27, 2025 “I’ve been expecting him to invoke the Abraham Accords in relation to the war in Gaza, because that’s his foundational commitment for U.S. policy in the Middle East.” There’s no question President Trump disappointed a whole lot of people and lost a lot of momentum with some supporters […]
Park MacDougald and Adam Lehrer The Scroll, Jan. 24, 2025 “Iran will hopefully make a deal, and if they don’t make a deal, that’s okay too,” combined with Trump’s expressed wish that Israel not have to resort to a strike (i.e., leaving the option open), is at the very least preferable to the Obama-Biden version of Iran […]
