Gaza: Präsident Trump spricht von einem „Ende eines Kriegs“, Beobachter nennen es historisch. Doch die Kraft dieses Moments liegt weniger im Triumph über Gewalt als in der Hoffnung, dass sich aus der Müdigkeit der Region eine neue politische Ordnung formen lässt.

Ein historischer Moment – aber noch kein Frieden
Der 13. Oktober 2025 könnte als Wendepunkt in die Geschichte eingehen: In Gaza schweigen die Waffen, garantiert von einer seltenen Allianz aus vier Staaten. Präsident Trump spricht von einem „Ende ein...

Told @esaagar & @krystalball that it remains unclear whether Trump's openness to talks with Iran is about real diplomacy (ie a workable give-and-take) or whether he is only looking to discuss the terms of Iran's capitulation (which won't work).

My statement on the ceasefire in the Middle East.
Statement from Vice President Kamala Harris
October 13, 2025

I am thankful and deeply encouraged that this ceasefire has brought long-awaited moments of joy and reunion — as 20 Israeli hostages are finally reunited with their loved ones and Palestinian families and the people of Gaza begin to receive desperately needed relief from unimaginable suffering.

Through diplomacy and persistence, today is an important first step toward a more hopeful future. I commend the leaders and partners whose efforts made this agreement possible, including the President and his team.

There is still much more work to do to secure a lasting peace, ensure the safety and dignity of every innocent life, and build a future where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in freedom and security.

The war between Russia and Ukraine is more likely to end with a negotiated ceasefire than with a sweeping military victory though neither seems close. Donald Trump’s peace process has petered out but, perhaps flush with the praise he’s getting over Gaza, he might try again.
