The last of the living hostages have been freed by Hamas and a ceasefire is breaking out in Gaza with a large swath of Middle East countries in on the plan. There are twenty points to it, including a requirement that Hamas disarm and shut down. Not everything is good. Israel has to release nearly 2,000 terrorists from prison as part of it. But every treaty is a compromise where some people have to give up things they don’t want to do in order for others to do things they want done. In the end, Trump got a large group of disparate nations on different sides of major religious and economic and cultural issues to come together and agree on a single treaty that has a chance of bringing an end to the fighting in Gaza. Will it succeed? I don’t know. But this is a step forward to give peace a chance. I very much hope it will work.
