This Trump Policy Just Ended The War?!

Donald Trump brokered a peace deal in Gaza, utilizing tariffs and threats of military action as leverage, which is expected to lead to a ceasefire and the return of hostages.

• Trump's deal secured a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza, leveraging tariffs and direct threats.

• The agreement isolates Hamas, forcing them to accept terms for a strategic regrouping amidst devastation.

• Calls for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump highlight debate over the award's relevance and merit.

Donald Trump successfully negotiated a peace deal in Gaza, a development met with optimism despite potential pitfalls before its full implementation. Trump's approach involved using tariffs as a point of international leverage and issuing strong threats, which historically he has backed up, leaving Hamas with limited alternatives. While many are calling for him to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, others question the award's legitimacy, akin to the perceived biases of the New York Times bestseller list.

Trump's Leverage and Tactics

• 00:00:22 Trump's personality and willingness to make serious threats, such as dropping bombs if necessary, were key to his negotiation success in the Gaza deal. He also employed tariffs as a 'catalyst' to open international conversations and create leverage, forcing countries dependent on the American market to cooperate. This strategy, though dangerous, proved effective in achieving a peace agreement.

Details of the Gaza Peace Deal

• 00:02:50 The Gaza deal, officially signed, initiates a 72-hour window for hostages to be released by Monday or Tuesday. The ceasefire involves a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, ultimately leading to Palestinian control of the territory. Optimism for the deal's longevity stems from broad Arab and Muslim support, isolating Hamas with no remaining allies.

Hamas's Strategic Position

• 00:04:14 Trump presented Hamas with an ultimatum: agree to the deal or face an unleashed Netanyahu with unlimited military support. Hamas, isolated and facing significant devastation in Gaza, likely accepted the deal to regroup, secure the release of imprisoned members (including the architect of October 7th, Sinwar), and rebuild, despite having won the 'PR battle' and turning global sentiment against Israel.

Nobel Peace Prize Discussion

• 00:06:20 Following the Gaza peace deal, there are renewed calls for Donald Trump to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, with prominent figures like Israel's Prime Minister and a former US ambassador endorsing the idea. However, the legitimacy of the Nobel Peace Prize is questioned, paralleling the perception that the New York Times bestseller list is a popularity contest rather than a merit-based award, diminishing its value to some observers.
