US President Donald Trump has earned a major diplomatic win by helping broker a ceasefire in Gaza, but achieving the lasting peace he envisions for the Middle East won’t be easy.
The truce marks a rare breakthrough in one of the world’s most complicated conflicts. However, experts warn that turning this short-term success into a durable peace will take far more time, patience, and political will than what’s been seen so far.
Trump, now 79, is celebrating his role in the deal but is known for losing interest once the initial excitement fades. Observers are watching closely to see whether he will stay committed to the peace process after his upcoming trip to the region.
Any agreement between Israelis and Palestinians especially one involving Israel and Hamas is a remarkable achievement,” said Aaron David Miller, a former US negotiator who served under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Miller noted that Trump did something unprecedented: he pressured an Israeli prime minister on an issue central to Israeli politics, something no other US leader has dared to do. Still, Miller cautioned that the agreement’s next phase is packed with complex details that could easily derail progress if not handled carefully.
