Trump’s Gaza deal begins, but can it survive?

WATCH: “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman

Former senior official at Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office, Danny Seaman, offers viewers an informed take on the latest developments in Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, specifically the dramatic first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace proposal, which is now underway.

Seaman walks us through the deal: 48 Israeli hostages—20 living and 28 murdered—are to be returned; Hamas will disarm; Israel will partially withdraw; and some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners are set for release. But with so much at stake and decades of failed ceasefires haunting the region, can this agreement really hold?

This episode explores the timeline of the deal, the risks of partial Israeli withdrawal and the implications of Hamas’s so-called disarmament.

Seaman analyzes Trump’s upcoming speech before the Knesset on Monday and how his unpredictable leadership has reshaped the region. He also breaks down the dismantling of Iran’s terror network and the transformation of Netanyahu’s legacy.

Finally, the host raises the hard questions: What happens when Trump leaves office? Can this plan survive without him? And is the world ready to face the deeper ideological threat posed by radical political Islam?

“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
