President Donald Trump has achieved the release of all twenty of the surviving hostages seized and brutalized by Hamas two years ago. Praise God!

It remains to be seen, however, at what price it has been achieved. Two thousand terrorists – including some of the most murderous – have potentially been restored to the jihadists’ ranks, as have 85-percent of those released in such previous exchanges.

How much that will matter is likely to be largely a function of the extent to which Hamas is actually disarmed, dismantled and denied any future role in Gaza and Judea and Samaria. Another factor, however, will be the impact of the deal on enemies of Western civilization far beyond those lands.

For Middle East peace to be truly achieved and sustained, we must contend with and defeat the threat posed by Sharia-supremacists, both at home and abroad.

This is Frank Gaffney.
