Final Reflections and Humility

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Haviv Rettig Gur, one of Israel’s leading political analysts, for an in-depth breakdown of the Trump peace plan, the end of the Gaza war, and the chaotic aftermath now unfolding inside Gaza.

With the hostages returned and the ceasefire in place, Haviv explains how Hamas has re-emerged from the tunnels, executing its rivals and reasserting control — while Israel withdraws under intense global scrutiny. He reveals why the Trump administration’s 20-point plan to rebuild Gaza faces collapse, how Qatar and Turkey’s support for Hamas is undermining regional stability, and why the international “stabilisation force” may become a new UNIFIL — protecting terrorists rather than disarming them.

We discuss Trump’s strategic play — leveraging Qatari fear, Turkish ambition, and American power to end the war — and whether this marks a genuine peace or simply the start of another chapter in a long regional conflict.

All this — the Trump deal, Hamas’s resurgence, Qatar’s influence, American troops in Gaza, and the uncertain new world order emerging in the Middle East.
