What makes the new Gaza peace plan different from all previous peace plans?
In this week’s episode of “Israel Undiplomatic,” JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—analyze U.S. President Donald Trump’s bold new peace initiative, the release of the last Israeli hostages and reactions across Israel’s political spectrum. Most importantly, they explain what makes the plan that freed the final hostages in Gaza on Monday fundamentally different from previous Middle East peace efforts.
Blum and Regev then explore how Trump’s coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer shaped the plan from the inside, and how his unconventional pressure on Qatar, Turkey and other Arab states made compliance possible.
Finally, the episode wouldn’t be complete without covering the week’s most talked-about moment: Trump’s monumental Knesset address. They examine his powerful message of “peace through strength,” his open defense of Israel’s right to finish the war and his declaration that the Oct. 7 attacks would never have happened had he been president.
