What if the Israel-Hamas deal is less about peace and more about the next election? Netanyahu needs a win with his coalition crumbling, Trump wants a foreign policy (and Nobel worthy) trophy.

LLet’s see if it survives past the photo ops.

How to get France out of its political impasse?

1. Snap presidential elections (after budget’s approval)

2. Snap political elections (again)

3. No election but asking FN to form a government and road test coexistence

Other options?
