Steve Witkoff: The Trump envoy who sealed the deal in Gaza

The real estate mogul and longtime friend of Trump reportedly got tough with Netanyahu to get him to finally sign a ceasefire to end his 15-month-long assault on Gaza

After truce, Gazans find nothing—or no one—to return back to

Palestinians rejoiced when the news broke last week that a ceasefire was finally reached, but many didn't get the chance to celebrate with their loved ones who Israel killed before the deal took hold

Will Israel’s Netanyahu survive the ceasefire?

The Israeli premier's political survival skills are renowned, but this time, he is boxed in tightly by Trump, the far right, and the Haredim. March will be an interesting month.

Israel opens Schrödinger’s box as Gaza ceasefire takes hold

For months, Netanyahu has touted that he would not relent until he secures "total victory" over Hamas. But with the group still standing after the truce, it has essentially won.

Will a ceasefire bring Palestinians closer to statehood dream?

As Biden and Trump quibble over credit for Gaza ceasefire, it is the latter who will take up the presidential mantle in a few days. Pining over a Nobel Prize, he could push for a more lasting peace.

One question looms over Israel-Hamas truce deal: Why now?

Biden has been pushing for a deal for more than a year with no success until now. Is Trump the reason?

Joe Biden’s final foreign-policy report card

It didn't have to be this way, but Biden's foreign-policy legacy will be a world that is less rule-bound, less prosperous, and significantly more dangerous
