Trump deserves a lot of credit for getting the Gaza ceasefire deal done because he put real pressure on Netanyahu to agree, while the Egyptians, Qataris, and Turks pressured Hamas to make concessions.
Donald Trump was able to put pressure on Bibi Netanyahu, which was something Joe Biden was criticized for not doing effectively. This move by Trump is seen as a significant shift in strategy.
The leadership that Netanyahu has displayed over the course of the last two years, taking on the slings and arrows, taking on the lies that have been told about Israel, standing up against the slow walking of aid from Joe Biden, attempting to navigate the difficulties of a dual-purpose war, one to free the hostages, two to defeat Hamas, and then take on challenges on a wide variety of other fronts, ranging from an existential threat in Hezbollah to another existential threat. That's an extraordinary performance.
Trump was willing to put pressure on Netanyahu in a way that President Biden was unwilling to do.
President Trump brokered an unthinkable deal: the release of the final 20 live Israeli hostages all at once, contrary to expectations that Hamas would prolong the process.
The election of Donald J. Trump is credited with providing Israel the support needed to win, emphasizing the impact of political decisions on international conflicts.
President Trump emphasized two key messages regarding Israel: 'Never forget' and 'never again.' These phrases resonate deeply with historical and contemporary contexts, underscoring America's commitment to Israel's security.
President Trump brought together leaders that no one thought would ever sit together, talk, and come to an agreement. This remarkable achievement has brought a great sigh of relief throughout Israel, as it was a day everyone had been praying for over two years.
Trump's ability to maneuver in Middle East politics contrasts with Joe Biden's approach. Trump's leverage and relationships allowed him to pressure Netanyahu in ways Biden did not.
Netanyahu is just keenly aware of how much he really needs American support. He can't lose everyone. He needs his most powerful friend.
