Trump suggests deal between Israel and Gaza is imminent

President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell that could change the game in the Middle East.

Breitbart reported that on Friday, Trump revealed a potential breakthrough on Gaza that might end the long-standing Israel-Hamas war and bring hostages home, while speaking to reporters from the South Lawn of the White House en route to the Ryder Cup.

Let’s rewind to Thursday, September 25, when Trump made waves in the Oval Office with a firm stance against Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

He declared he “will not allow” such a move, pushing back on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent considerations. This isn’t just posturing—it’s a signal of where Trump draws the line.

Trump’s Bold Stance on the West Bank

Netanyahu had been mulling over the annexation of the West Bank, known to Israelis as Judea and Samaria, especially after some Western nations floated recognizing a Palestinian state amid the ongoing conflict.

This region, seized by Jordan in 1948 and later taken by Israel in 1967 after Jordan’s attack, remains a hotbed of contention with Palestinian towns, Jewish settlements, and historic sites. Annexation talk isn’t new, but it’s a lightning rod for the Arab world.

Israel’s potential move to annex the West Bank, while leaving Gaza out, would keep its population overwhelmingly Jewish, a point of security and ideology for many Israelis.

Yet, let’s be real—such a step would ignite tensions far beyond the region, ignoring Palestinian claims to the area as part of their hoped-for state. Trump’s veto here is a pragmatic check on a powder keg.

Remember the Abraham Accords? They came to fruition in 2020 only after Netanyahu backed off a similar annexation threat. Trump’s current position echoes that playbook—peace through pressure, not provocation.

Fast forward to Friday, and Trump’s comments on Gaza have conservatives cautiously optimistic. He hinted at a resolution that could end the Israel-Hamas war, a conflict that’s drained resources and lives for far too long. If successful, this would mark the eighth conflict Trump claims to have settled since returning to office.

“It’s looking like we have a deal on Gaza,” Trump told reporters, dangling hope like a carrot. Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves—deals in this region have a habit of crumbling faster than a house of cards. Still, the prospect of ending this war is worth watching.

Part of this potential agreement includes the return of hostages held by Hamas, with 48 in captivity and up to 20 believed to still be alive. That’s a gut-wrenching number, and any deal that brings even one person home is a win in a world too often numb to suffering.

Trump’s Track Record on Conflicts

Trump didn’t shy away from touting his broader diplomatic efforts, listing settled disputes between nations like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and even Pakistan and India. Add to that a reported halt to escalation between Serbia and Kosovo, as noted by Turkish state media Anadolu Ajansı, and you’ve got a resume that demands attention.

Critics might scoff, claiming it’s all smoke and mirrors, but let’s give credit where it’s due—mediating global conflicts isn’t exactly a walk in the park. The progressive crowd might not like Trump’s style, but results speak louder than woke talking points.

Back to the West Bank issue, Netanyahu’s recent moves—like authorizing new communities east of Jerusalem to block Palestinian territorial contiguity—show he’s playing hardball. Trump’s pushback suggests he’s not buying into a one-sided map redraw, which could alienate key allies in the region.

The West Bank’s history is a tangled web—Jordan expelled Jews after 1948, didn’t establish a Palestinian state, and lost control to Israel in 1967 after ignoring pleas for peace.

Today, Palestinians see it as core to their statehood alongside Gaza, while Jewish settlers reclaim old towns and build new ones. It’s a mess, but Trump seems to be navigating it with a clear-eyed focus on stability.

Annexation might bolster Israeli security, as some argue, but it’s a red line for Arab nations—a fact Trump appears to grasp. Ignoring that reality for ideological wins would be shortsighted, and conservatives should appreciate a leader who prioritizes long-term peace over quick political points.
