President Donald Trump’s push to gather world leaders in Sharm el-Sheikh is exactly the kind of bold, high-stakes diplomacy America needs right now — a decisive move to end a brutal two-year war and bring home hostages. Egypt’s role as host underscores that regional players now look to the United States and its friends to deliver security, not endless empty talk.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry can speak with authority on this file, and Ambassador Tamim Khallaf — now the ministry’s spokesperson — has been front-and-center explaining Cairo’s aims and the delicate mechanics of any postwar plan. Khallaf’s résumé in Washington and at the UN shows this is no amateur exercise; Cairo wants a workable transition in Gaza that reduces the terror threat on its border.
The breakthrough on a Trump-brokered deal — which includes a phased ceasefire, hostage releases, and steps toward withdrawal — is the kind of results-oriented diplomacy Republicans have been calling for while the other side dithers. This is not about trophies or photo ops; it is about freeing innocents and forcing a pause in bloodshed so reconstruction and security can begin.
Make no mistake: the hard questions remain. Who will run Gaza if Hamas willingly gives up power? The options being hashed out by diplomats — from an international stabilization force to a technocratic transitional authority — are complicated and demand American muscle and clarity, not the moralizing hand-wringing of the usual Beltway crowd.
That is why the strongest, bravest negotiator at the table matters. Hamas’s past behavior and the organization’s reluctance to disarm remind us that any deal must include enforceable demilitarization and robust security guarantees from regional partners and the United States. Weakness invites relapse; firmness secures peace.
For patriotic Americans who value peace through strength, this summit is a concrete test of leadership — and of whether Washington will finally move from endless talking to enforceable action. Stand behind a plan that protects our ally Israel, returns hostages, and crushes the ability of terrorists to reconstitute, and demand that our leaders never forget: peace is won by the prepared, not the apologetic.
