Donald Trump can be acknowledged for his involvement in the successful Gaza ceasefire. The agreement, though previously drafted, has seen progress despite Hamas’s partial non-compliance. Factors contributing to this outcome, such as US pressure on Netanyahu and direct talks with Hamas, reflect positively on Trump.
However, beyond this achievement, Trump’s actions raise concerns that could have significant negative repercussions globally. His admiration for authoritarian leaders, exemplified by praising Egypt’s low crime rate due to strict governance, mirrors his desire for similar control domestically.
Trump’s affinity for strongman leaders contrasts with democratic values, as seen in his criticism of peaceful protests and support for oppressive tactics akin to those used by the Egyptian regime. Such actions, including advocating for a militarized approach to policing in the US, are worrying.
Additionally, Trump’s questionable remarks during international events, such as the Egypt summit and Knesset speech, underscore his unconventional and sometimes inappropriate behavior. From making personal comments about political figures to showcasing a lack of diplomatic tact, Trump’s actions continue to draw attention and criticism.
