There's this inclination to say, oh, this is the end of the ceasefire.

This is the end of the peace plan.

It's not the end.

It is, in fact, exactly how this is going to have to happen when you have people who hate each other, who have been fighting against each other for a very long time.

Judges owe the president great deference in that area.

And what a majority of the panel concluded is that the district court judge had essentially substituted her judgment for the president's judgment in an inappropriate way.
