Will Trump's multi-billion aid pledge for Gaza actually create peace?

from ARN Stories · host Annenberg Radio Stories

President Donald Trump is holding a meeting in Washington on Thursday to announce the $5 billion pledge that member states have made for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Gaza. Skepticism is on the rise surrounding this announcement, as the recovery plan for Gaza, announced by Jared Kushner in Davos, has been at a halt and aid into the warzone has been minimal. U.S. allies such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom - even the Vatican - have declined their invitation to this meeting.On today's episode of Global Campus, Annenberg Media's Carl Massad sat with James Gelvin, a professor of Middle Eastern History at the University of California Los Angeles, to talk about the efficacy of the aid package and its long term effect on peace in the region.
