And what did not promise Donald Trump Before he can get his foot on the White House. Promised to end the war in Gauze And within a 24 -hour war in Ukraine but it was probably counting without the… hoteliers.
US President Donald Trump discovers that ending wars is more difficult than it seems and his pre -election rhetoric for peace is not easily translated into fast wins, as Gaza and Gaza wars Ukraine They are raging, notes in CNN’s analysis.
On Tuesday (18.03.2025), while making a little progress in his peace plan for Ukraine, another truce, for which he had claimed the credit, collapsed. Israel launched a new attack on Hamas in Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians.
His phone call with an immovable Vladimir Putin and the decision of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu To escalate the war has been highlighted by two leaders who seem to put their own political aspirations over the ambitions of the US president.
This is the ominous geopolitical reality that stands obstacle to Vision – Trump’s dream of staying in history as a global peacemaker, Something that had predicted that it would be done by returning to the White House.
However, there is evidence that Trump’s goals go beyond the end of conflict through a sustainable and fair peace.
Announcements of his conversation with Putin reinforced Ukraine’s concerns and European allies that Trump sees the war as a secondary issue in his general pursuit of approaching Moscow. That is why he pressured Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski to accept the 30 -day truce plan, while praising Putin, despite his refusal to participate.
At the same time, American tolerance for the resurgence of Israeli bombings in Gaza marked the end of Trump’s envoy’s efforts, Steve Whitkovto ensure the release of hostages and promote a second stage of peace agreement.
However, a new US air strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen suggests that Trump is now focusing on escalating pressure on Iran – either to force him into talks on his nuclear program, or to weaken his allies in the area.
Trump’s attitude towards Putin and the deadlock in Ukraine
The White House business has positively displaying Trump’s telephone conversation with Putin, but the main conclusion was the Russian resistance to the US proposal for immediate truce.
As he even states aptly BBC Analysis: He gave him “as much as” so as not to appear that the Kremlin is bothering him.
Moscow has agreed to stop attacks on Ukraine’s energy and infrastructure facilities for 30 days, something that the Ukrainian government also accepted. However, the use of the word “ceasefire” by the United States overcame the actual content of the agreement, since there was no commitment to cease attacks on other goals. In fact, the same night, Russian drones hit a hospital in the Sumi area of Ukraine.
The Russian announcement of the conversation with Trump was different from the American version, referring only to “energy infrastructure”, implying that Moscow is interpreting the deal much more limited than the White House.
Trump insisted that the deal was a success and made quick progress, despite the new obstacles Putin put. “The next step will be a complete truce and an agreement,” he said, expressing the belief that it would happen “very quickly”.
However, his optimism can be a political tactic to cover his failure to impose a full truce, as Putin shows no hurry to end the war, especially after recent Russian military successes.
The new attack on Gaza and Netanyahu’s political calculations
OR Cruise collapse in Gaza It highlights the difficulties that the Trump government is facing in its attempt to turn temporary agreements into constant peace solutions.
Many analysts estimate that Netanyahu never wanted to go beyond the first phase of the truce, which followed the massacre of Israeli civilians from Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Tuesday was the most bloody day in Gaza in the past 15 months, with over 400 dead According to Palestinian authorities, after new Israeli air attacks.
Netanyahu said he reiterated the attacks because Hamas refused to release the rest of the hostages or to accept the American proposal to extend the truce. For her part, Hamas argued that she had not rejected the proposal, but wanted further negotiations.
At the same time, the resurgence of the war also meant a temporary postponement of Netanyahu’s trial of corruption, which fueled speculations that he deliberately extends the conflict to avoid a possible conviction.
Like the Putinfor which war in Ukraine has become a matter of political survival, so does Netanyahu Conflicts may need to continue to maintain his power.
However, Trump, sooner or later, may be forced to make difficult decisions On whether he will really push Putin or Netanyahu – something he has so far avoids doing.
