In This Episode
Following the ceasefire brokered between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump arrived triumphantly in Israel and delivered a speech to a rapturous Israeli parliament – some of whom wore red MAGA-style hats adorned with the words ‘Trump the peace president’. Trump is now in Egypt for further negotiations over securing a long-term peace in Gaza – but how realistic is it?
Dan DePetris, foreign affairs columnist for the Chicago Tribune, joins Freddy Gray to discuss Trump’s achievement. Dan argues that this is just phase one and, given he believes Netanyahu has ‘no long-term strategy’, peace is a long way off. Could Netanyahu still stonewall further progress? What about the Iranian issue? And is Trump’s desire for peace alluding him on the domestic front?
