The Week: Trump the Peacemaker?

• We hear the Nobel Peace Prize committee has gone into hiding.

• President Trump is heading to Israel on Sunday to celebrate the peace agreement that his administration orchestrated. It promises to end the war in Gaza and bring all the hostages home after two years in captivity. While there is reason for trepidation about whether there are sufficient guardrails to keep Hamas from rearming and threatening Israel in the future, the agreement is a cause for joy for the families of hostages and the IDF reservists who have been spending time away from their families. Israel also has many accomplishments to celebrate. Hamas has been severely degraded; Hezbollah has been decapitated; and Iran, the benefactor of both terrorist proxies, has been humiliated, with its nuclear program having been dealt a significant setback. There is hope now that an end to the war is in sight.
