Well, if Trump is actually pushing for diplomacy over war for once, that's a rare move in the right direction—let’s hope it’s not just more empty posturing.
As long as Trump keeps the pressure on and makes sure Iran never gets nukes, direct talks aren’t necessarily a bad thing—but Israel’s security has to stay front and center.
