The area that is no longer visible from President Donald Trump’s windows on Monday will surely be different when he returns from the Middle East: the hostages who have been trapped underground in Gaza for the past two years are free, and the bombs that destroyed the Strip are no longer dropping.
The fundamental question of whether the Israel-Hamas war is actually over is one of the key uncertainties that remain, notwithstanding the valedictory set pieces that were organized for him in Israel and Egypt. Trump maintains that it is, and in a lengthy and convoluted address to the Israeli Knesset, he praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his opponent, for having the “guts” to decide that the moment had come to suspend his two-year military campaign that followed the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
However, Netanyahu has not acknowledged the existence of such a thing. The Israeli leader actually stated that the military campaign “wasn’t over” the night before Trump arrived, citing ongoing threats to Israel’s security. His coalition government’s far-right members are still pressuring him to keep targeting Hamas in Gaza.
