<p>Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro analyzed President Donald Trump’s Israel-Hamas peace deal, saying on Friday morning that the first phase agreement is “one of the great diplomatic achievements of [his] lifetime.”</p>
<p>Shapiro appeared on “<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6382557865112">Fox &amp; Friends</a>” to discuss the ceasefire and hostage deal, providing insight into how the president successfully pushed Israel and Hamas to move forward with his plan.</p>
<p>“I think the president ignored pretty much all the conventional wisdom, all the State Department conventional wisdom that has failed for 80 years,” Shapiro told “Fox &amp; Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade.</p>
<p>“He understands that in the Middle East you have to force people to keep their promises,” Shapiro added. “He understands that supporting our allies in the Middle East is much smarter than pretending a neutrality between our allies and their enemies and our enemies as well. The president refused to accept the idea of an Iranian-dominated Middle East, and instead, he gave the Israelis what they needed to succeed militarily.”</p>

<p>Shapiro also credited Trump for working with other Middle Eastern countries, such as Qatar and Turkey, to make them “promise that they were going to push Hamas into the corner.”</p>
<p>“That’s the thing that changed between two years ago, or a year ago, and now. President Trump is the added ingredient — and Israeli military victory across the Middle East,” Shapiro continued.</p>
<p>Shapiro added that accomplishing phase one of Trump’s peace plan “is an extraordinary achievement.”</p>
<p>“Like a Nobel Prize-worthy achievement by the president of the United States,” he added. “One of the great diplomatic achievements of my lifetime.”</p>

<p>Shapiro warned that the most challenging test for Trump’s plan may still lie ahead.</p>
<p>“What happens next in phase two [is] whether there will be a provisional government [in Gaza], whether Hamas will actually give up its guns and disarm, whether there will be any sort of solid interim government that is created capable of actually investing in the people of Gaza and building something working there,” he said. “That is a very difficult task, and it remains to be seen how that plays out.”</p>
<p>The host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bibi-netanyahu-the-security-of-the-world-is-dependent-on-the-strength-of-the-united-states">spoke</a> to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just days before the ceasefire was announced. During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA2bQ1k1M-s&amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fbibi-netanyahu-the-security-of-the-world-is-dependent-on-the-strength-of-the-united-states&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE">interview</a>, which was released on Monday, Netanyahu told Shapiro, “Right now the liberty of the world, the security of the world, is dependent on the strength of the United States.”</p>
<p>“What President Trump has done, in a very short time, is bring America back to the driver’s seat in world affairs,” he added. “That’s very important, because we all depend on America’s strength and America’s resolve.”</p>
