President Trump’s remarkable Middle East deal has led to the release of the last 20 surviving hostages of the 251 seized by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th pogrom in Israel.
The end of their suffering, after two years of hell, should be a cause for celebration not only for Israelis but for anybody who wants to see an end to terrorism and war in the Middle East.
Yet strangely, some in Europe and the West seem less than enthused about the first stage of Trump’s peace deal. The pro-Palestinian protestors who have long demanded Israel submit to a “Ceasefire now” have sworn to continue fighting, despite an actual ceasefire coming into force.
Much remains uncertain about what will happen next in the Middle East. But Trump’s deal has already made some things very clear about what’s been happening in Europe and the West.
