Making Sense of the Trump Plan

by New Jewish Narrative

At an unusual press conference at the White House on Monday—with Prime Minister Netanyahu at his side—President Trump unveiled a plan to end the Gaza War. The document, which was emailed to reporters during the event, included 20 substantive points—some of which are supposed to happen whether or not Hamas accepts the plan. 

There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of this initiative. We all remember President Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine, which he unveiled while standing next to President Putin this summer. At the same time, we’ve seen Trump’s efforts be cautiously welcomed by the Palestinian Authority, as well as a host of Arab and European states. 

To help us make sense of these developments, NJN is hosting a webinar with Laura Rozen and Joel Braunold, two seasoned observers of American diplomacy. The webinar will take place tomorrow (Wednesday, October 1st) at 1pm Eastern Time.
