Trump’s Gaza deal ignores Palestinian future

President Donald Trump pledged eternal peace in the Middle East at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, but the Gaza agreement relies on familiar prisoner exchanges rather than structural reform. Washington aims to build on the Abraham Accords by creating commercial ties between Israel and Gulf states to replace ideological conflicts. The United States seeks to reduce its regional commitments and shift focus toward Asia by encouraging local powers to manage security independently.

Trump’s 20-point plan demands Hamas disarmament and international administration in Gaza, but offers no framework for broader Palestinian statehood. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are exploring security cooperation as regional powers question American consistency. The initiative produces temporary calm without addressing core grievances or establishing sustainable coexistence mechanisms. Allies are diversifying partnerships while adversaries await the next crisis in a region where peace remains elusive without Palestinian inclusion.
