Trump's Coronation and the Middle East Ceasefire

Trump's Coronation and the Middle East Ceasefire; Now the Real Diplomacy Begins (Global Connections - recorded on 1/21/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Roopmati Khandekar.

The discussion was: Roopmati Khandekar, geopolitical analyst, helps us understand the details of the current ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which will signify a lull in the high octane showdown which lasted 15 months. The October 7 terror attack of Hamas on Israel escalated. Israel faced confrontation on seven fronts as discussed in our previous episodes. The current ceasefire deal also includes return of 33 Israeli hostages in exchange of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. What is the timing and nature of this ceasefire? Trump has been blazing on the return of 'ALL' Israeli hostages, so why is this deal no different from previous hollow ceasefire deals? Is it because the 'coronation' of Trump needed this ceasefire transaction for validation of his claims.

The takeaway was: The need of the hour is that the Israeli hostages should be returned in complete. Time has passed to settle for these half hearted exchange deals.
