Trump's Middle East Success Is Clearing the Deck for the Real Fight: China

The Israel-Gaza ceasefire that took effect Friday morning is an end to a brutal two-year war. But, even more than that, it’s a strategic move by an administration that knows you can’t fight every battle at once.
The Trump administration brokered a deal that European leaders praised for the president’s leadership. Israeli troops started withdrawing from parts of Gaza, 48 hostages will be released in exchange for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, and for the first time since October 2023, there’s a real path to peace.
This matters. But the bigger question is why Trump pushed so hard to get this done now.
Removing Distractions
The Trump administration isn’t pursuing peace out of idealism. They’re removing conflicts that drain American resources and attention. Israel-Gaza consumed diplomatic bandwidth, military focus, and political capital. That distraction is being eliminated.

The pattern goes beyond the Middle East. Trump got frustrated with Putin’s refusal to negotiate. The administration resumed weapons deliveries to Ukraine in July, announced a plan where NATO countries buy American weapons and transfer them to Ukraine, and set a 50-day deadline for Russia to make peace or face tariffs.
Trump’s tone changed dramatically. He went from praising Putin to saying the Russian leader feeds him empty promises while launching missiles at Ukrainian cities. Putin thought he could manipulate Trump while continuing military operations. He was wrong.
Russia has proven to be a declining power with Soviet delusions. Their expected swift victory in Ukraine never happened. They’ve suffered massive losses and exposed their military weaknesses.
But Russia isn’t the main threat. Neither is Iran, whose nuclear program was damaged and military leadership killed by Israeli strikes. These are manageable problems.
China is different.
