Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu may welcome two Middle East policy goals articulated by US President-elect Donald J. Trump in response to the Gaza ceasefire but may not like what it will take to achieve them.

The same is true for the Palestinians, including the West Bank-based, internationally recognised Palestine Authority and Hamas.
