“We Will Get It Done” is not just another Trump slogan, it’s his latest bravado in the chaos of the Gaza war. With a ceasefire deal hanging in the balance, Trump has once again put himself at the center of Middle East peace, a stage where many leaders before him have failed miserably. .
Trump’s Big Promise
Trump says the Gaza war can finally be stopped, and he insists “all are on board.” He is banking on negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to deliver a breakthrough. His confidence isn’t new; Trump thrives on big promises.
Vice President JD Vance tried to put substance behind the words, laying out three pillars: freeing hostages, neutralizing Hamas, and delivering more aid to Gaza, which is so easy to say, but in practice, every one of those points is a political minefield.
Netanyahu’s Calculated Flexibility
Netanyahu hinted that Hamas leaders might even get safe passage if they surrender and release the hostages. It’s a striking shift for Israel’s hardline stance. However, Israel doesn’t give amnesty easily. Netanyahu’s words may be more about keeping Trump in the room than showing real flexibility.
The U.S. Plan Nobody Asked For
The White House quietly rolled out a 21-point plan at the United Nations, promising coexistence, an end to hostilities, and even a new dialogue between Israel and Palestinians. Lofty words, but Hamas claims it hasn’t even seen the plan. That’s the core weakness: peace plans written in Washington rarely match the reality on the ground in Gaza.
And then there’s the problem of trust. Israel bombed Hamas targets in Qatar just weeks ago, angering the very people the U.S. now needs to keep on board. The Americans may be painting peace in broad in broad strokes, but the canvas is already splattered with blood.
Trump the Showman or Trump the Peacemaker?
Trump loves to brand himself as the dealmaker. “We Will Get It Done” fits right into that image. But this is not a casino deal or a TV contract, it’s a war zone. For families in Gaza and Israel, it’s not about Trump’s bravado, it’s about survival.
