Episode notes
Peace Deal Is A Real Short-Term Win
- A brokered halt to hostilities between Israel, Gaza, Hamas, and Arab states is an unmitigated short-term success.
- Peter Zeihan credits Donald Trump for brokering the ceasefire and taking deserved praise.
Fragility Rooted In Unresolved Land Claims
- The deal is fragile because core issues like competing land claims remain unresolved.
- Zeihan expects renewed violence eventually, though the timing could be anywhere from days to years.
Agreement Built On Contradictions
- The agreement reflects multiple parties agreeing to different versions rather than a single unified deal.
- Zeihan warns that such contradictions make long-term stability unlikely.
