Geraldo Rivera: Trump's Diplomacy in Ukraine, Gaza, and Asia Could Merit Nobel Peace Prize

Hostage Release and Gaza Conflict

• 💡 The potential release of the last American hostage in Gaza, Idon Alexander, is seen as good news and a relief.
• 🎯 Hamas's gesture is hoped to be the first of many, leading to the freedom of all hostages.
• 🕊️ There is a call to wrap up the conflict in Gaza and release the bodies of those who died in captivity.

Trump's Diplomatic Efforts

• 🌍 President Trump is noted for his active involvement in Pakistan, India, Gaza, Hamas, Israel, and Ukraine.
• 🏆 If Trump succeeds in bringing peace to these three conflict zones (Gaza, Ukraine, Pakistan/India), he should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
• 🤝 His actions are described as an impressive display of informal international diplomacy, with multiple diplomatic efforts underway simultaneously.

Potential for Peace in Ukraine and Asia

• 🤝 There are indications that Putin and Russia are open to meeting with Zelenskyy and Ukraine, potentially this week in Turkey.
• 🇵🇰🇮🇳 Trump is credited with helping to mediate and negotiate a shaky ceasefire between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India.

The Art of the Deal in Diplomacy

• 💼 Trump's current actions are likened to 'The Art of the Deal', but in a diplomatic context rather than a purely business one.
• ⚖️ While he may have been perceived as crass or self-serving in business, his current role as president is seen as different.
• ☮️ The goal is to achieve a momentary truce or pause in fighting to allow for reassessment, moving away from tit-for-tat escalation.
• 🙏 The underlying message is to protect the innocent and defenseless, turning spears into plowshares.
