Olivia of Troye - Trump Brought the Ceasefire. Can America Bring the Peace? [View all]

Let’s start with what’s real: Donald Trump and his team deserve credit for negotiating a ceasefire and bringing home hostages.

Yesterday, all 20 living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, a monumental moment in this war’s arc.

But pause and ask: why doesn’t the broader U.S. narrative also remind us that the Biden administration helped bring home over 100 hostages in earlier exchanges? Politics, as ever, picks who gets the credit. We should call out both, not as partisan points, but as facts.

So yes, this deserves applause. Let’s hope the ceasefire holds. But the more complex question is: will it? And what happens next if it does?
