Why Trump’s Gaza Plan is Not a Peace Deal

US President Donald J. Trump’s plan for ending the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip is not a “peace plan.” In the eyes of Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, the plan is nothing but another temporary ceasefire, not different than previous ones reached between Israel and Hamas over the past two decades.

It is a mistake even to call it a “peace plan”: Hamas has not yet abandoned its stated goal of destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist state.
