The article intertwines geopolitical analysis with human stories, highlighting the paradoxes of Trump\u2019s transactional approach to Middle East peace. Barnea profiles <strong>Amir Assi<\/strong>, portraying him as a bridge-builder who advances coexistence by integrating Arab citizens into Israeli society. Barnea contrasts Trump\u2019s style with Assi\u2019s quiet, humane work at Ono, which fosters understanding between Jewish and Arab Israelis through education and mutual respect. Ono Academic College emerges as a rare example of moral and practical progress, where shared spaces of learning offer the kind of grassroots reconciliation that top-down peace plans often fail to achieve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The complete article can be read at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynet.co.il\/yedioth\/article\/yokra14533440\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ynet.co.il\/yedioth\/article\/yokra14533440<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34424 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/Amir-Assi.jpg\" alt=\"Amir Assi at Ono\" width=\"803\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/Amir-Assi.jpg 803w, https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/Amir-Assi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/10\/Amir-Assi-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amir Assi, Chairman of the Arab Society Administration at Ono Academic College, was recently profiled in an article by senior Israeli journalist Nahum Barnea \u201cWhen Trump Makes Peace\u201d in the Yediot Ahronot newspaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":34424,"menu_order":16,"template":"","class_list":["post-34423","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories_news-updates_news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/34423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
