President Trump’s speech at the UN drew headlines, but his closed-door meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders may prove more consequential. His twenty-one-point plan leaves Hamas out of the talks, instead calling for hostages’ release, a permanent ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and a new governing mechanism backed by Arab nations. Such concessions could move the region closer to peace but would require Israel to accept “bitter pills,” including the possibility of a Palestinian state. And just as Israel may need to surrender certain rights to achieve greater security, so too are Christians called to lay down their own rights to advance God’s kingdom.
