PDB Situation Report | January 18th, 2025: Gaza Ceasefire Deal Reached & Why Greenland Matters

uh children you know these are the sorts of things that has it's just been breaking the hearts of israelis here but the key i think for the israeli negotiators was that they did not agree to end the war not in phase one after phase two if there is a phase two they might agree to it but i don't think that's where the heads of the israeli negotiators are i think the way they look at it is if they're able to get everybody back i think they're gonna go right back into that gaza battlefield and try to finish off hamas

PDB Situation Report | January 18th, 2025: Gaza Ceasefire Deal Reached & Why Greenland Matters

Trump came out and said there's going to be hell to pay. And nobody knows what that means. By the way, I'm not even sure Trump knows what that means, but everybody knows one thing about Trump. He's unpredictable, right? You don't want to find out what he means. And so Trump put a huge amount of pressure on Hamas. He put actually some pressure on the Qataris.

He put pressure on the Egyptians who've been brokering this deal. But pressure on the Israelis, despite the fact that he's got a good longstanding relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister. We don't know exactly what was being threatened, but nobody wants to find out. Nobody wants to start off on the wrong side of Donald Trump when he steps into office.

So this was without question the big game changer. Everybody all of a sudden started to jump. I'm going to say as much as it says something about Trump, and how much maybe the region fears him. I also have to say, where was Biden? Really, you know, when you think about the last 15 months, this is a president that could have said, hey, all hell's going to break loose.

We're going to come down on you like a ton of bricks. It's not what he did. He started asking for partners in the region to please work with him. Nobody feared him. Nobody wanted to go out of their way to make things happen for him. And so he had to limp along for the last 15 months. I think this is just a real indictment of Biden policy in the Middle East.

And I think the entire region right now is looking toward Trump with some optimism. thinking that he just might be a guy that bares his teeth at Iran and actually backs that up, because as everybody knows, Iran is the primary patron of Hamas.

They're the people who are behind the Houthi attacks, these ballistic missile attacks and the harassment of American ships and the killing of American servicemen. It's the Iranians at the end of the day that I think are really worried And all of those countries in the Middle East that hate Iran, that's Saudi, that's Israel, that's the UAE, it's all of the allies of the United States.
