Peace is possible and always was, in the sense that the Israeli war crimes and genocide would not be possible without the blank check for US military aid, and US "diplomatic cover" - including violent repression of protesters within the US, and even pseudo-legal threats against international courts. Therefore it is nominally within the power of the US executive to halt the indispensable ingredient to these crimes.

But in a political sense, the only thing expected from the Trump Admin is another PR stunt. "Personnel is policy" as goes the saying. Trump's appointees are overwhelmingly Israel-first.

Unfortunately, the only credible and physical progress towards peace visible in the story, at this point in time, is that made by Yemen's Ansar Allah - as they have apparently managed to deter the US Navy, while maintaining a selective blockade of the Suez Canal ! But despite this, they are too far away to stop Israel from continuing in its undisguised effort to wipe out 2 million people it doesn't like on the basis of their religion.

I think my wishes are going to be realized. When I discussed Trump vs. Biden support for Gaza, I said, “at least there is a chance that Netanihau will piss off Trump and the support for the genocide will end”. I hope that’s it!
