Dan expresses his doubts about the Trump Deal leading to the "eternal peace" the American President talks about -- but ending the Gaza war, after 2 years, and getting all the hostages home to Israel seems brilliant.

We hear parts of the CBS News interview with two women who had the job of Secretary of State and mediated the end of "mini-wars" between Israel and Hamas: Hillary Clinton (praising Trump!) and Condoleezza Rice.

Then Dan is joined by a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Joel Rubin, in analyzing what will work -- and what might not -- in the Trump plan ending the Gaza war.
