US President Donald Trump is boasting of having brought peace to the Middle East, a claim that is wildly exaggerated. But he has, at least for the moment, brought an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Trump's willingness to use the tools of his office to pressure Israel into accepting his terms for a ceasefire - terms quite favourable to Israel but falling short of the ambitions of its far-right government - reflects poorly on his predecessor, Joe Biden, and his 2024 presidential challenger, Kamala Harris.

It also vindicates the anti-Trump critics within the Democratic Party who implored their leaders to take a forceful stand against Israel's genocide, warning they could lose the election if they refused.

You sound like a Trump supporter. Did you even read the article?

This post is just the title of the article and the first 3 paragraphs. How could OP sound like a Trump supporter when you haven't even read a single word of OP's own opinion in this thread? Obviously Trump is terrible, the article goes on to cover that.

by OP do you mean Peter Link? He hasn't posted any opinion in this thread, just quotes from the article author
