One possibility is that President Trump’s Gaza plan is a starting point for negotiations. Therein, writes Lazar Berman, lies an opportunity for Benjamin Netanyahu:

Israel’s demands for Gaza—Hamas leaders in exile, its fighters disarmed, and a new international consortium overseeing the Strip—may suddenly seem reasonable and desirable to regional players compared to Trump’s suggestion. Moreover, the prime minister can curry favor in Egypt and Jordan if he quietly moves Trump away from the expulsion idea.

Einat Wilf, by contrast, outlines a more concrete plan, within Trump’s framework, to end the Palestinian “politics of destruction.”

Gaza’s inhabitants, regardless [of whether] they are given temporary or permanent refuge in other Arab countries, and even if they just remain in Gaza, must be struck from UNRWA’s records as refugees and must each individually recognize that they possess no such thing as a “right of return” into Israel.

In return for that, and only after this is done, each Gaza resident receives a unit of property rights (such as an apartment) to be realized when Gaza is rebuilt. That right can then be realized or sold, but it is a simple property right in Gaza, where Gaza is home, not a destructive vision of “return” to somewhere else.

[Moreover], if I were Jordan, I would finally recognize how valuable Gaza is and I will make a play for it—offer to provide temporary or permanent refuge to Gazans—and in return take over Gaza as a Jordanian foot in the Mediterranean. . . . And if I’m Egypt, I would try to prevent Jordan from doing this, and offer to take over Gaza myself.

To Mathias Döpfner, a German and the publisher of the online magazine Politico, the war between Israel and Iran

is a central front in a global contest in which the forces of tyranny and violence in recent years have been gaining ground against the forces of freedom, which too often are demoralized and divided. In a world full of bad actors, Iran is the most aggressive and dangerous totalitarian force of our time.

But Israel is only the first target. Once Israel falls, Europe and America will be the focus. . . . It is therefore surprising that Israel is not being celebrated worldwide for its historic, extremely precise, and necessary strike against Iranian nuclear-weapons facilities and for the targeted killing of leading terrorists, but that the public response is dominated by anti-Israel propaganda. The intelligence and precision of Israel’s actions are not admired but are instead used here and there to perpetuate blatantly anti-Semitic stereotypes.

If Israel does not achieve its goals—destruction of the nuclear facilities, maximum weakening of the terrorist regime, and, ideally, the removal of the mullahs—the world will quickly look very different. China will seize this historic opportunity to annex Taiwan sooner than expected. Largely without resistance. . . . That is why America and Europe, in their own interests alone, must stand united with Israel and do everything in their power to ensure that this historic liberation is achieved.
