Donald Trump's 20-point plan gives hope for an end to the Gaza war. That alone would be huge, but he also contends it could resolve the wider Middle East conflict.

That would put all us Mideast pundits out of business. That would be good, but it's not likely to happen.

There's a lot to analyze, and Nimrod Novik -- senior advisor to the late Prime Minister Shimon Peres, now with Commanders for Israel's Security (calling for an end to the Gaza war and a deal to free the hostages held by Hamas), and with Israel Policy Forum -- joins The Mossad Files podcast, after we hear highlights of Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu at their White House unveiling of the plan.

Dan's most recent book -- with Israeli espionage/defense expert Yossi Melman -- about the Mossad and Israel's other security agencies is "Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars" -- You may purchase it at http://bit.ly/41j1Sc3 in Kindle or paperback (and on all e-book platforms).

AND ANOTHER BOOK: Dan Raviv is co-author of a new book -- with world-renowned social psychologist Prof. Arie Kruglanski -- "The Quest for Significance: Harnessing the Need that Makes the World Go Round." It explains how every person has a need for respect and dignity, and the book advises how you can find what's important to you -- and figure out all the people around you, to give them a measure of Significance ... and then they typically will reflect some back at you. That's called a win-win. To buy: https://amzn.to/3Y2cawj
