"As might be expected, US president Donald Trump did not downplay the significance of his achievement. "Blessed are the Peacemakers," he wrote on Truth Social, and left it to the readers to recall that this bit of Christ's Sermon on the Mount was followed by: "for they shall be called sons of God"."
"On its own terms, his peace plan to end the conflict in Gaza is a magnificent achievement. It brings an end to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza; it will ensure the return of the remaining hostages, living and dead, from the Hamas attacks two years ago, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners; and it will lead to Hamas laying down its arms."
