It's official:

-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.

As negotiations for a Gaza peace deal approached the finish line, President Trump provided a personal guarantee he wouldn't let Israel abandon it and resume the war.

Israel broke one ceasefire. Trump told the mediators he wouldn't let it happen this time.
