When it comes to peace in the Middle East, strong leadership and clear vision are key. That’s exactly what we’ve seen from President Donald Trump. In a region filled with long-standing tension and violence, Trump stepped forward with a bold plan that brought real results. Unlike past leaders who talked but didn’t act, Trump took action—and it worked.
Zvika Klein, the Editor-in-Chief of the Jerusalem Post, recently made a powerful statement. He said the situation between Israel and Hamas would have been worse under a Kamala Harris presidency. That is not just opinion—it reflects the deep concern that many in Israel feel about weak leadership from Washington. While President Trump worked to end the violence, Harris and her allies would likely have made things more dangerous for Israel.
Let’s look at the facts. Trump’s ceasefire agreement brought home 20 Israeli hostages and the remains of those tragically killed. In exchange, Israel released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. This deal was part of Trump’s 21-point peace plan for the Middle East. It wasn’t just about stopping the fighting—it was about building a path to lasting peace. That kind of vision takes courage.
Some former officials from the Biden era tried to take credit for this success. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Trump built on ideas the Biden administration had discussed. But even Klein admitted that Biden and his team were “stuck.” They had no way forward. They needed someone to think outside the box. That someone was President Trump. He saw a way to make progress and took it.
Klein was also asked about what would have happened if Vice President Kamala Harris had been in charge. His answer was clear: it would have been “terrible” for Israel. Why? Because many of Harris’s advisors are more sympathetic to the Palestinian side and often criticize Israel. That kind of leadership would not have helped bring peace—it would have encouraged more conflict.
This is not just about politics. It’s about standing with our allies and upholding freedom. Israel is one of America’s closest friends. When they are under attack from terrorist groups like Hamas, they need to know that the United States will stand with them. President Trump did just that.
Klein also praised Trump’s recent visit to Israel. He said Trump is “loved” by the Israeli people, especially after the ceasefire. Even in a country where opinions often differ, there was strong support for this agreement. That tells us something important: Trump’s leadership made a real difference.
Trump’s speech to the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, was another highlight. Klein called it “entertaining” and “amazing.” Trump even called on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Netanyahu, who faces corruption charges. That bold move showed Trump’s deep understanding of Israeli politics and his desire to keep the country stable and strong.
In the end, even though Netanyahu gained support from the peace deal, many in Israel still want new leadership. That’s their choice to make. But what’s clear is that President Trump’s actions helped bring calm to a situation that was spiraling out of control.
This is the kind of leadership America needs—not just at home, but around the world. We need leaders who will defend our values and support our allies. President Trump has shown he can do that, even in the toughest situations.
As we look to the future, let’s remember what works. Talking is not enough. Promises are not enough. We need bold action, strong leadership, and a commitment to peace through strength. That’s the foundation of Trump’s foreign policy—and that’s why it works.
