"But analysts stress that for the deal to turn into long-term peace in Gaza, rather than another brief truce, the US president must pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against restarting the bombardment after the Israeli captives are released. I think that Donald Trump wants to oversee this very closely, and I think he wants to continue to send the message to Netanyahu that this is it. At least, that's what I'm hoping, said Mohamad Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies."
"The White House said on Friday that Trump will depart for the Middle East on Sunday night, according to Al Jazeera correspondent Alan Fisher. The US president will first arrive in Israel, where he will make an address on Monday, before continuing on to Egypt, Fisher reported from Washington DC. Israel and Hamas have already lauded Trump's role in the negotiations."
Donald Trump will travel to Israel and Egypt beginning Sunday to emphasize his role as a peacemaker after a Gaza ceasefire deal. The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and did not choose Trump, prompting the White House to accuse the committee of prioritizing politics over peace. The White House said Trump departs Sunday night and will address Israel on Monday before visiting Egypt. Israel and Hamas have praised Trump's involvement. Analysts warn that durable peace requires Trump to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid restarting bombardment after captive releases.
