THE WORLD waits to see whether Hamas will fulfill its part of President Trump’s peace deal for Gaza.
We are skeptical. Even if the 48 hostages are returned to Israel, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive, the price—some 2,000 prisoners, including about 250 serving life sentences in Israeli prisons for committing acts of terror—may be one Israelis come to regret someday. In 2011, one of the 1,067 Palestinians released in exchange for a single captive Israeli soldier was Yahya Sinwar, who planned the October 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis.
We also discuss the warning by the Bank of England this week of a looming economic crash triggered by over investment in artificial intelligence. The AI bubble is now about four times larger than the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 that nearly collapsed the global financial system. It’s estimated that generative AI now accounts for 40 percent of US gross domestic product—meaning when this bubble pops, the American economy (and, presumably, the world’s) goes with it.
