Once, before dreaming of the presidency, Donald Trump confessed he was "drawn almost pathologically to complex deals, partly because they tend to be more interesting." This approach succeeded spectacularly and almost miraculously for him and for us in securing the release of hostages from Gaza, both living and deceased. Yet concerning Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the notion of "the complex and interesting deal" has emerged, at least for now, as either a fiasco or an illusion. It displays excessive naivety or pretense, occasionally drifting into fantasy territory. We harbor no ingratitude toward the man without whom the hostages would almost certainly continue languishing in Hamas tunnels today. However, we cannot escape the obligation to confront reality honestly, and most importantly, to comprehend how it emerged.
