When will the Gaza war end? The answer remains: As soon as Hamas releases the hostages, lays down its arms and gives up power. Those are the core demands of the deal President Trump put on the table and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to on Monday.
Mr. Trump called Monday “potentially one of the great days ever in civilization.” Quests to solve the Middle East typically end in disappointment, but the Trump deal is better understood as a way to move the region past the Gaza war and shift pressure onto Hamas. After a modest Israeli withdrawal, the deal requires Hamas to free all 48 Israeli hostages, dead or alive, “within 72 hours” of acceptance.
