Biden Snatches Credit for Israel-Hamas Cease-Fire, But Trump's Team Played a Key Role

politicsHamasIsraelTrumpcease-fireBiden

In his final days as President, Joe Biden announced a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, and tried to take all the credit. But sources told Fox News Digital that a recent meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump's incoming Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, was an integral part of the deal. When asked if Trump deserved credit, Biden dismissed the question with a joke. The deal will consist of two phases, with Americans being part of the hostage release in the first phase. Trump had previously warned that there would be 'hell to pay' if there were no significant developments with a hostage deal by the time he took office.
