Value Forums Over Headlines
- Preserve forums that enable global engagement even if they lack enforcement, because discourse enables diplomacy and cooperation.
- Use the UN to convene states, share intelligence, and avoid escalation through backchannel diplomacy.
How The Gaza Deal Was Assembled
- Bremmer outlines the proposed Gaza deal: Arab assurances on no annexation and Palestinian rights, Israeli release of hostages, and Hamas disarmament.
- He credits Trump, Gulf states, and U.S. pressure for cobbling the framework together at the UN sidelines.
Gulf Leverage Changed Israeli Calculus
- Arab states leveraged the Abraham Accords to pressure Israel, threatening to leave the accords over annexation.
- That threat created real consequences that constrained Israeli actions and opened space for a deal.
