Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday his nation has the opportunity to bring a “great peace” to the Middle East ahead of his meeting with President Trump with a potential Israel-Hamas ceasefire at the top of their agenda. 

But a major attack on a commercial ship in the Red Sea, which may have been carried out by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, a key ally of Hamas, threatened to spark another round of conflict. Renewed Houthi attacks on shipping could draw U.S. forces back into Mideast fighting just two weeks after American airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities. 

The two events in different corners of the Middle East underscored the difficulty of forging lasting peace. And they highlighted how any one of the stakeholders across the theater is capable of derailing that effort. 

The latest Red Sea attack came as Mr. Trump urged Israel to strike a sweeping ceasefire with Hamas. Hamas is the Gaza Strip-based Palestinian terrorist group that launched an October 2023 attack on Israel, which began a domino effect of conflicts across the region. 

Before leaving Israel, Mr. Netanyahu said that Hamas was already demanding “unacceptable” changes to the ceasefire framework backed by the U.S. and presented to both sides last week. 

That framework would pause hostilities for 60 days. During that time, Hamas would release at least half of the remaining Israeli hostages it is holding, in five separate waves of releases. 

Hamas wants assurance that talks aimed at securing a permanent ceasefire would continue even after the initial 60-day truce. And Hamas wants major changes to the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
