Trump's Gaza Deal, Again? Don't Panic. It's Never Going to Happen

from The Pulse of Israel · host Avi Abelow

Another President Trump announcement about his ambitious plan for Gaza, and worrisome updates from the new Gaza peace council.In this Pulse of Israel video, Avi Abelow explains why he believes the latest proposal to disarm Hamas, establish a new Palestinian government in Gaza, deploy an international stabilization force, and eventually withdraw the IDF is built on a flawed assumption: that jihadist movements can be persuaded to abandon their ideology through diplomacy.Avi compares the proposal to previous diplomatic efforts involving Iran and argues that both rest on the belief that ideological regimes committed to Israel and the West's destruction can be negotiated into changing course. He discusses why, in his view, the conflict is driven by a deeper religious and ideological struggle rather than by borders or economics.The video also examines the historical record of international peacekeeping efforts, including the experience with UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, and asks whether outside forces have succeeded in preventing heavily armed groups from rebuilding.At the same time, Avi explains why he believes Prime Minister Netanyahu may publicly cooperate with aspects of the plan while privately recognizing its limitations. Preserving Israel's strategic relationship with President Trump and the United States remains a vital national interest, particularly after the successful return of the hostages.Ultimately, Avi argues that lasting peace cannot be built on wishful thinking. It must begin with a realistic understanding of the ideology Israel faces and a strategy that produces genuine deterrence and long-term security.Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation that deserves serious discussion.If you appreciate independent pro-Israel analysis that challenges conventional narratives, please Like, Subscribe, and Share this video.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/
