History has been made. After two years of brutal war, Israel and Hamas have reached an end to hostilities, culminating in a Donald Trump–led peace summit in Egypt that united eight Arab and Muslim nations behind a new vision for the Middle East.

In this exclusive episode of The Middle East Breakdown, host Dan Feferman sits down with veteran journalist, war correspondent, and Middle East analyst Ahmed Quraishi, speaking live from Islamabad. Together, they unpack the geopolitical earthquake now reshaping the region.

They explore how the Abraham Accords paved the way for this unprecedented coalition, how Arab leaders quietly backed Israel’s victory over Hamas, and why countries like Pakistan and Indonesia are now offering troops for Gaza’s stabilization. Quraishi, who has reported from conflict zones across the Muslim world, offers rare insight into what this means for the future of jihadist movements, the Iranian regime, and U.S. influence in the region.

The conversation goes deep into:

How the war changed the Arab world’s perception of Hamas and Iran

Why the Abraham Accords were the turning point in Arab–Israeli relations

How Trump’s direct diplomacy outmaneuvered decades of failed peace efforts

What it means when even Muslim-majority states now say “Israel must win”

The failures of Western media narratives that ignored Arab pragmatism

And what’s next for Gaza, peacekeeping, and the future of Palestinian leadership

Ahmed Quraishi explains how Arab governments—once Hamas’s loudest supporters—privately urged Israel to finish the fight, fearing the spread of Islamist militancy to their own countries. This marks the first war in history where most of the Arab world did not side with the Palestinians, and instead saw Israel’s fight as their own.
