JD Vance Highlights Progress in Trump’s Middle East Peace Plan

During an event at the Civil-Military Cooperation Center (CMCC), Vice President JD Vance provided a detailed overview of the progress made under the historic Middle East peace plan promoted by President Donald J. Trump. According to Vance, the implementation of the plan has exceeded his initial expectations, given the complexity of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, and he emphasized the importance of international cooperation and military coordination to ensure a sustainable process of peace and reconstruction.

“This is a very complicated situation: there are two peoples, two enemies who have faced a very harsh conflict between them, with a terrorist organization that has killed many innocent people on one side, and an Israeli army that was defending itself on the other,” Vance noted. He also highlighted the vulnerability of the civilian population in Gaza, trapped in decades of confrontations and systematic violence. Addressing the needs of these communities, he asserted, is crucial to securing an effective and sustainable peace plan.

The vice president emphasized that the CMCC has been key in coordinating efforts between Israel and the United States, facilitating the reconstruction of Gaza and preparing local security forces. “We are working hand in hand with Israelis and Americans to implement Gaza’s reconstruction, ensure long-term peace, and train security forces on the ground who are not composed of Americans but who can maintain stability in the region,” he explained.

Vance acknowledged the role of prominent figures in executing the plan, including Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Admiral Cooper, who, according to him, have contributed significantly to coordinating the resources and strategies needed for this ambitious project. He underscored the importance of having a committed and experienced team capable of managing the political and military challenges that accompany a peace process of this magnitude.

During his remarks, the vice president also criticized Western media coverage, pointing out what he described as an almost constant desire to see failure. “Whenever something negative happens, there is an immediate tendency to say ‘this is the end of the ceasefire’ or ‘the peace plan has failed,’ when in reality what we are seeing is a natural process in resolving such a deep-rooted and complicated conflict,” he said. For Vance, this media perspective ignores the real progress being made and can undermine public perception of the advancements achieved so far.

According to Vance, the peace plan is not limited to the material reconstruction of Gaza but seeks to lay the foundations for lasting peace through regional cooperation and strengthening local institutions. He noted that the involvement of strategic allies such as the Gulf Arab states, Indonesia, and Turkey has been essential for consolidating security agreements and facilitating dialogue between the parties involved. International coordination, he explained, ensures that the peace process has multiple layers of support, increasing the likelihood of long-term success.

Vance also highlighted the role of U.S. troops at the CMCC. According to the vice president, their participation has been decisive in ensuring logistics, coordinating resources, and overseeing operations on the ground. “I am particularly proud of the U.S. troops working at the command center; their work is essential for making this effort possible,” he said, emphasizing the professionalism and commitment of the armed forces in a context of high political and military complexity.

He further stressed the need for patience and perseverance in the peace process. Vance acknowledged that challenges are numerous, from historical distrust between the parties to external pressures and international public opinion. However, he expressed optimism about the outcomes, assuring that with the right strategy and support from key allies, it is possible to achieve a lasting scenario of stability benefiting both Israelis and Palestinians.

In conclusion, JD Vance’s speech offered a positive and detailed assessment of the state of Trump’s Middle East peace plan. He emphasized that, despite the complexity of the situation, the process is advancing thanks to international cooperation, coordinated work of U.S. troops and strategic partners, and the political commitment of key leaders. The implementation of this plan represents an unprecedented effort to stabilize the region, rebuild devastated communities, and lay the groundwork for lasting peace.

For Vance, the coming months will be critical, but the progress achieved so far demonstrates that with leadership and collaboration, it is possible to transform a historic conflict into a path toward stability, security, and reconciliation. His message concluded by highlighting the importance of maintaining a consistent and pragmatic approach, valuing both civilian security and regional cooperation, as well as international commitment to ensure a safer and more prosperous Middle East.
