The Gaza Peace Plan Requires Continuous Diplomacy
Gulf leaders now enjoy unprecedented access to the Oval Office. These and other stakeholders invested in the peace plan must maintain frequent visits to the President to sustain progress.
Critical Role of the President’s Engagement
The success of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to resolve the Israel-Hamas conflict depends heavily on his ongoing involvement. If the President loses focus or shifts attention to other global matters—perhaps assuming the conflict is already solved—advancement to the next phase will stall.
This would likely lead to renewed violence between Israel and Hamas, perpetuating a devastating cycle with severe casualties on both sides and halting any progress toward Palestinian statehood.
Understanding President Trump’s Leadership Style
The President’s approach to governance is known for being unpredictable and highly personal. He thrives on being the center of attention, enjoying the feeling of achievement and the reputation of the world's greatest dealmaker. Engaging with him presents distinct challenges.
Trump Whisperers from Gulf and Europe
Despite these challenges, some leaders, especially from the Gulf and Europe, have learned how to hold his focus. They have mastered methods to sustain productive relations with President Trump.
They have become Trump ‘whisperers’.
Author’s Summary
Effective implementation of the Gaza peace plan hinges on skilled diplomacy to keep President Trump actively engaged and prevent regression into conflict.
