"...According to details of the deal that is being brokered by Egypt and the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov, Hamas and Fatah will reconcile and reunite and in exchange, Israel and the international community will increase aid to Gaza and possibly begin allowing Gazans into Israel for work. The situation seems to be serious...."

Remember when Trump was “destabilizing” the Middle East by moving the embassy to Jerusalem?

isn't it ironic (to the dippos) what happens when you put your foot down and diplomacy becomes a residual option......

dems have nothing in the tank to combat something like this.....

Negotiation works best when the other side's BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement) is not very good for them.

Now now. Let's not use tangible positive foreign policies as a means to defend our President.

It's much more important to focus on his disdain for athletes who refuse to sit down across from him because won the presidency as a "republican".

This is the part of negotiations completely lost on Democrats, and really most politicians for the past 20+ years... and something that Trump DOES bring to the table. He's not worried about his image nor his legacy nor how the media will portray him. The left will say 'sure he does, see his tweets about it', but we all know that doesn't stop it... it's merely meant to downplay any appearance of internal 'dissent' which gives those hoping to simply 'wait it out' no leg to stand on.

This is Trump's best and perhaps only good quality... that he cares more about 'winning' for US interests than the polls.

Doesn't always happen to be sure, but it certainly has shown movement in a number of areas where we've been stuck for decades. I hope it leads to SOMEthing.
