The typical political thing to do when you see a problem is to talk about the need to fix it, go on the news stations and talk about fixing it, say you might offer legislation, you have a committee looking at it, and, if you re-elect that person they’ll get it done. Now, love Trump or hate him, when he sees a problem he doesn’t put together committees, he doesn’t yammer about working on fixing it, he just works to fix it.
Trump administration presented Gaza peace plan to Arab leaders
The Trump administration proposed a 21-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza to Arab leaders on Tuesday, which led to an exchange of ideas among the leaders over how to agree on a final proposal that could potentially drive an end the conflict, according to a senior administration official and regional sources familiar with the matter.
On Wednesday US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff expressed confidence that there would be “some sort of breakthrough” in the coming day but did not go into details.
“We had a very productive session,” Witkoff said of the meeting between President Donald Trump and the US delegation and the Arab leaders.
“We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast, in Gaza,” Witkoff said at the Concordia summit in New York.
“I think it addresses Israeli concerns, as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region,” Witkoff added. “And we’re hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days, we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”
The plan that the US proposed included a number of points that the administration has made publicly, including the release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire, according to a separate source briefed on the matter. It also outlined a framework for how Gaza can be governed without Hamas and included a proposal for Israel gradually withdrawing from the Gaza strip, the source said.
In all the time while Biden was president what did he do? Yammer and give aid to the people supporting the terrorists who started all this. Trump wants it ended. Other world leaders are recognizing Palestine, making things harder.
But, of course, now we wait to see if this plan gets any traction.
Comedian Stephen Colbert joked Tuesday night that Gavin Newsom has drawn a lot of attention lately for doing something novel for a Democrat: “being interesting” — and he was only too happy to take the praise.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show will return to ABC’s airwaves on Tuesday, nearly a week after it was suspended amid criticism of the host’s remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
International collaboration on climate change is fraying. The Trump administration withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, the 2015 treaty aiming to limit global warming, and has penalized the renewable-energy business and promoted fossil fuels. Ten years after Paris, a vast majority of countries are not on pace to meet their climate targets. With the United States sidelined and China ascendant as a clean-energy superpower, the global map of alliances on climate action is being redrawn. On top of all this, the planet keeps warming.
