And that historic peace deal in decades would be?

The last ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was in 2021.

It was in January this year and was broken by Israel in March.

I'm sure the next one will be in 2027.

This includes full Israeli withdrawal to a buffer zone, Rafah crossing reopening, and Hamas giving up weapons and control of Gaza, with US/Arab-funded rebuilding.

If you don't understand the difference between now, and those events, then I can't help you.

Striking Iran didn't end hostilities in Gaza, Trump leaning on Egypt, Turkey and Qatar did [1]. (The Iran strikes might have worked because Hegseth was sidelined [2].)

Hegseth is a wuss who couldn't cut it in the military. He's in place because he's loyal, probably compromised, and plays masculinity well on TV.

The last ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was in January of this year, before he took office, but yes, he's a special boy for actually doing his job.
