Trump Says the Road to Gaza Ran Through Tehran
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - President Trump told TIME that the key to unlocking the Gaza ceasefire deal was the attack on Iran - a joint achievement of Netanyahu and Trump. "We took the bully out of play. Without that, you couldn't have done this," meaning the Gaza deal. "It would have been impossible. The Arab countries wouldn't have done it." Threats from Iran could have neutered them at any time. "Now, because you don't have that threat, everybody's open to peace." The final impetus for the Gaza deal was Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar. "This was one of the things that brought us all together...it sort of got everybody to do what they have to do. If you took that away, we might not be talking about this subject [the Gaza ceasefire] right now."
