President Trump declared a 'historic dawn of a new Middle East' during his recent trip to Israel and Egypt, celebrating a peace deal to end the war in Gaza. This marks a potential shift from decades of conflict to a future characterized by peace.
President Trump described the peace deal as more than just an end to the war in Gaza, calling it the beginning of a transformation for the entire Middle East region, with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to put old feuds and bitter hatreds behind.
The release of hostages is seen as great news, but there is concern that Israel might try to scuttle the deal or violate it after getting the hostages back.
CNN's Jeremy Diamond describes the recent developments in the Middle East as an enormous moment, with the potential to reshape the region's peace and stability.
Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary, a moment that many thought was impossible. Yet here we stand, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen. A peace born not out of politics, but out of courage.
In a historic speech, President Trump highlighted the transformation of the Middle East, stating, 'Today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy land that is finally at peace.' This marks a hopeful future for a region long plagued by conflict.
The peace deal is seen as a way to expose Israel's true intentions, as they are unlikely to honor the agreement.
The absence of a phase two plan in the Middle East peace process is alarming, as it has historically prevented lasting peace.
The conventional wisdom that military action does not guarantee security in the Middle East is a lie. History shows that military victories have led to peace deals, such as the Camp David Accords and the removal of Jordan as a threat after the Six-Day War.
The release of hostages and the celebrations in Israel and Gaza show the relief and joy after years of conflict. It's incredible to see the young people who suffered so much finally celebrating.
