The following editorial was written by the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board and originally published by the Chicago Tribune:
Donald Trump is famous for his hubristic overstatements, but his characterization of Thursday’s events as a “momentous breakthrough” in the Middle East is supported by the facts. Even if his characterization of the future there as being one of “lasting peace, hopefully an everlasting peace” still remains to be seen, given that history teaches us that “lasting” is a relative term in this region and “everlasting” too often a mirage.
