How Trump’s Transactional Nature Led To The Ceasefire

In this episode of Fresh Air, Dave Davies interviews Aaron David Miller, a former State Department negotiator, about the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. They discuss President Trump's role in achieving the agreement, his unique approach to dealing with Israeli leaders, and the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the region. Miller emphasizes that while the ceasefire is a significant step, it is not a comprehensive peace agreement and highlights the need for long-term solutions to address the core issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conversation also explores the roles of various international actors, including the Gulf states, and the urgent need for humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Gaza.
