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?
