If the US wants the war to end, it will end: Analysis

Mohamad Elmasry, of the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says the fact that Trump appears to be personally invested in ending Israel’s war on Gaza is a positive sign that the conflict may indeed end. “What we’ve been saying for two years is that the United States holds all of the leverage. If they want the war to end, it will end,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera. “If Trump is so personally invested and has already made a determination that this is the end of the war, and if he’s made it clear to Israel that this is the end of the war, then I think we’re going to get the end of the war,” he added. Since Israel began its war on Gaza in October 2023, the US has provided its top ally with billions of dollars in military aid as well as unwavering diplomatic support. Both Trump and his predecessor, Joe Biden, had rebuffed calls to curb that assistance.
