The recent ceasefire in Gaza, influenced by Donald Trump's intervention, has not provided a clear path to lasting peace. While the United States has proposed the creation of an international force to stabilize Gaza, the plan faces significant obstacles, including the unwillingness of potential contributors to deploy troops without a solid ceasefire and Hamas's refusal to fully disarm. Israeli leadership remains adamant that Hamas must relinquish its weapons, either voluntarily or by force.

Trump claims his plan will resolve the longstanding conflict between Arabs and Jews and bring broader peace to the Middle East. However, achieving real peace will require ongoing diplomatic efforts and significant compromises from both sides, not just declarations from powerful leaders. The history of American involvement in the region shows that peace cannot be imposed by presidential will alone.
