The guns have fallen silent in Gaza. All twenty surviving hostages are finally home. After months of war and suffering, Israelis and Palestinians can finally look to a horizon of calm.
When I heard the news, I felt the same emotion I felt when the Abraham Accords were announced, when my son Jared helped break down barriers once thought impossible. Once again America has achieved real results.
This peace has come from the tireless work and leadership of a president who deals in results, not rhetoric.
TRUMP CELEBRATES PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AFTER SIGNING GAZA DEAL: ‘ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE’
From the start, President Donald Trump has made two principles unmistakably clear.
First, Israel has the absolute right to defend itself – not a conditional right, not subject to foreign approval.
Second, the Arab countries that choose stability and prosperity over extremism are not America’s customers, but their honored partners. Instead of distancing ourselves from our allies, he has brought them closer together – and forged new ones.
That clarity has given the diplomatic map a new shape. While others debated the language, Washington built a position of power. The president developed a plan, got support from around the world, and then closed the deal.

The result is before us. Hamas agreed to release every hostage. Israel, assured of American support, accepted a ceasefire that preserves its right to defend its people. And governments around the world will pledge to lead the reconstruction of Gaza – not as a reward for terror, but as an investment in regional stability.
This is the Trump Doctrine at work: support Israel one hundred percent, support the Arab world one hundred percent, and never confuse moral clarity with moral distance.
Too many diplomats of the past have confused “balance” with virtue – as if peace requires splitting the difference between democracy and terror. President Trump rejected that illusion. He understood that true peace does not come from equality, but from standing firm against those who reject violence and honoring those who coexist. While others moralized, America mobilized. While others expressed outrage, America practiced diplomacy.
WORLD LEADERS PRAISE ‘LANDMARK’ ISRAEL-HAMAS PEACE DEAL MEDIATED BY US: ‘NEW HORIZON OF HOPE’
It is the same realism that produced the Abraham Accords: pragmatic partnerships built on trust, not lectures. The same logic that dismantled ISIS and contained Iran’s allies has now brought peace to Gaza.
This is not triumphalism. It is a sober recognition that effective diplomacy requires seriousness – the credibility to reward responsibility and punish aggression. When Washington acts with that clarity, peace becomes possible.
Now the harder work begins: turning calm into reconstruction, and reconstruction into reconciliation.

Gaza must be rebuilt – but not as a base for militants. The Palestinian people deserve schools, jobs and leadership untouched by terror. The Palestinian leadership must reform. Arab and European partners will receive America’s full support, provided they strengthen moderation, not extremism.
Israel, in turn, can count on what it has always had from President Trump: an unwavering American commitment to its security and legitimacy.

Blessed are the peacemakers.
