US President Trump announced today that the first phase of peace talks between Hamas and Israel has concluded. According to Trump, the parties reached an agreement during the first meeting, and there is a high probability that peace will be achieved in subsequent talks.
Reaching an agreement is a significant milestone for the people of Gaza and the Israeli hostages. If peace is indeed achieved, as Trump has stated, it will mark the completion of one of the most significant events of the last century in the region. It is unclear how the new administration will be formed after peace in Gaza, and what the future holds for Gaza, but at least innocent people will no longer die, children will no longer starve, and women will no longer cry for their husbands and children.
If peace is truly achieved between Hamas and Israel and the war ends, Trump will undoubtedly be nominated for the Peace Prize. We may not like or even hate Trump, but we can also applaud his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize after this peace. There are many good things in the world that even the most lousy people can do from time to time. Trump has a high ego and a weak democratic conscience, but it is essential to acknowledge that he occasionally does good things. It would be another act of stupidity to think that the millions of Americans who voted for Trump are stupid.
