Hi, everybody.

Welcome to a special flash episode of Ask Javeh Anything.

I wanted to get this out real fast.

My take on the Trump deal, the deal to end the Gaza War.

I haven't been this optimistic in 24 months.

This is an extraordinary achievement.

It's probably the smartest cornering of Hamas ever achieved.

And it was achieved by an American administration, which is super strange for me, because

traditionally, the least likely place to find real strategic

wisdom on the Middle East is the American administration on both sides and both parties.

I think I echo President Trump's own frustrations with ever dealing with the Middle East

when I say that.

This is an extraordinary moment.

It might be missed. Everybody might do the wrong thing. But it's an extraordinary moment. And I want to get into why and explain that and lay that out. But first, I want to tell you that today's episode is sponsored by unpacking Israeli history, my very good friends over there at Open Door Media. It's a podcast from Unpacked, an Open Door Media brand.

And when I've had the pleasure of actually joining several times as a guest, they dive into

the most controversial, the most fascinating, the most difficult sometimes. Issues in Israel's

past. It's hosted by my friend Norm Weissman, and it is smart, it is nuanced,

it is unafraid of complexity, and it takes the headlines we think we know, and it covers

the deeper story. So I love, frankly, just reading out their ad because I love what they do.

I'm a proud partner of Open Door in many, many ways, the team behind unpacking Israeli history.

And this is a project, this podcast, it among other things, tries to reach young Jews and their peers in their world.

With powerful and creative media that deepens their understanding of themselves, of their story, of Israel, of Judaism, of the Jewish experience.
