Trump says no one will be forced to leave Gaza
Executive Vice-President Matthew Duss on what it will take for the Gaza ceasefire to hold and why sustained US pressure is the only path to durable security for Palestinians and Israelis alike.
A ceasefire agreement appears to be taking shape. But with Israel still attacking Gaza and major questions remaining about what comes after the hostages are released, how close are we really to a lasting peace? What will it take for the guarantors of this deal to ensure it holds beyond phase one? Is the plan to reconstruct Gaza and create a Palestinian governing authority a genuine path to self-determination, or is it simply a continuation of Israeli occupation under another name? And how much does Donald Trump understand that his legacy is now bound up with the long-term success of this agreement? Duss joins TRT World News live from Washington to discuss.
He addresses:
- Why Trump’s pressure on Netanyahu produced this deal when Biden’s approach did not
- What a legitimate Palestinian governing body could look like
- Why sustaining pressure beyond phase one is essential
- What real and durable security for Palestinians, Israelis, and the region actually requires
