Israel’s bright, exuberant, imperfect day, two years after its worst | The Times of Israel

There’s no missing his specific focus on “peace” — which has become a forgotten, discredited word from another age, and one that he is now adamantly rehabilitating. It was invoked repeatedly by Witkoff and Kushner in Hostages Square on Saturday, and Trump used it more than 20 times in the Knesset.
But his stated vision — “New bonds of friendship, cooperation, and commerce will join Tel Aviv to Dubai, Haifa to Beirut, Jerusalem to Damascus, and from Israel to Egypt, from Saudi Arabia to Qatar, from India to Pakistan, from Indonesia to Iraq, from Syria to Bahrain, Turkey to Jordan, the United Arab Emirates to Oman, and Armenia to Azerbaijan” — cannot be achieved and maintained through presidential will and adroit dealmaking alone. It requires fundamental change in people’s thinking, tolerance for conflicting mindsets, the abandonment of terrorism, a region-wide recommitment to the sanctity of life.
And that has to start with education — where Trump’s indomitable will could most usefully focus: Require, as a condition for alliance with the world’s only superpower, the reform of education in nations, and UN bodies, that have for decades promoted intolerance, religious extremism and violence. Set the ball rolling by making clear to Qatar that it is not, in fact, a US ally so long as its Al Jazeera pumps brain poison into the homes of hundreds of millions of people.” The normally level-headed editor of a middle of-the-road ‘newsletter’ going rogue and egging Trump on to make Qatar’s membership in the rank’s of ‘US ally’ conditional upon, inter alia, the nixing of their flagship broadcaster. I emailed DH and pointed out that A-J’s coverage is worldwide news and current affairs. Not just Israel-Palestine. No reply.
