#4Thank god. Finally an end (for now) to the bloodshed. Hopefully an opportunity to take that psycho Netanyahu out of office (and to the Hague, where he should rot)

#6I am cautiously optimistic. But also curious what this community thinks about Trump‘s role. If this progresses, does he deserve a Nobel peace prize for it? Or is it more that other nations in the region applied pressure for Hamas to accept a deal?

#7Let's hope Israel actually sticks to this ceasefire deal this time.

Being the figurative 800-pound gorilla in the room, it seems to me that he was indeed able to put sufficient pressure on both sides to get them to agree. Obviously it's still too early to know if it will last, but if it does, and if he can then somehow put pressure to get actual normalization between Israel and the rest of the Middle East, then I would personally chip in to get him the Nobel.

That won't happen. Hamas will not disarm.
So Trump promised F-35s to Qatar and Turkey and they managed to strong arm hamas into releasing the hostages. But the rest of agreement will not happen. Basically no one in Israel believes in that, NO ONE. For Hamas it's too sweet of a deal to trap Israel again into bombing campaigns since its power comes from deaths of its own people ( specially on the international stage) and also the coming elections in Israel, Netanyahu will need to show that Hamas is going to be eradicated (and with hostages back, the "left" will not have any problems with that).
