Como dice algún experto en Oriente Próximo, si Trump consigue realmente acabar con el conflicto de Gaza, no merecerá en años venideros el Nobel de la Paz, sino también el de Física y el de Química. elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Trump, Nobel de Física

El plan del presidente de EE UU para Gaza no es ideal ni óptimo, pero es el mejor, pues es el menos malo de las opciones sobre la mesa
