Michael Oren: “The difference between tactics and strategy is in the hands of Donald Trump.”

Ceasefire means Hamas wins.

How does it get a ceasefire? By getting Israel to kill, inadvertently, Palestinians. That increases international pressure on Israel.

I do not think at all that Israel can or will stop because we have to destroy Hamas, or we ourselves will die.

I would like to see more aid personally, and I'm sure that this -- what has occurred, this tragedy will probably strengthen the president's hand and trying to persuade Israeli leaders to go against public opinion.
