Here's the unpleasant truth, a truth I doubt Trump is up to (on the other hand, neither was anyone else):

Sometimes there is no deal to be had. Not everyone is as "transactional" as you are or would like to think you are. Some people want you dead and see "negotiation" and "compromise" as nothing more than attainable ways to get you dead. The solution is to kill or severely disable them before they kill you (or more precisely kill any more of you). When you "give peace a chance" for decades, and what you get for it is Oct 7, it's time to wake up.

The answer here is to give Hamas Inc. what Japan and Germany were given in 1945. Anything else is just a more or less disguised form of suicide.

This is the thing the entire world including the US is determined not to permit, an Israeli victory. As for Trump, the administration might be marginally better than the Biden Bunch. But to use the words of Lincoln, "Its the same old serpent." Reward the Palestinians for their vile tactics by denying Israel a victory.
