“Sunday talk show anchors this week pressed Democrats on ‘How much credit does President Trump deserve for this deal,’ if the cease fire was ‘a clear win’ for Trump, and if ‘this peace deal came together now because President Trump was more effective at pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu than former President Biden.’ We will learn nothing from a cramped debate designed to flatter one man’s ego and buoy his hollow, self-indulgent quest for a Nobel Peace Prize. And we will steer attention away from the far more tragic yet instructive strategic failures on all sides that produced so much needless death and suffering and likely have set back the cause of peace for decades.” (10/15/25)
