Trump and his historic electoral victory that drove the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal.As Team Trump explained, while Biden attempts to claim credit for the "framework" he introduced last summer, a deal could only be accomplished after President Trump and his Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, intervened.President Trump repeatedly said there would be "hell to pay" if the hostages weren't released before he took office — and this agreement is a reflection of President Trump's unwavering commitment to securing America's interests, protecting our allies, and ensuring American strength prevails.Don't take it from us:Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller: “When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump's team, it's been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line.”Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke this evening with US President-elect Donald Trump and thanked him for his assistance in advancing the release of the hostages and for helping Israel bring an end to the suffering of dozens of hostages and their families.”The New York Times: “Mr. Trump's threat that 'all hell' would break loose if no deal was reached before his inauguration on Monday might have helped motivate Hamas's leadership to make final decisions.”The Washington Post: “A diplomat briefed on the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas credited progress in the talks in part to the influence of Trump...”Bloomberg's Marc Champion: “He will get much of the credit if this marks the end of what has been a brutal war – and he'll deserve it.”The Wall Street Journal: “The Biden administration has spent months on negotiations, but Trump might have pushed it over the line.”The Times of Israel: “Arab officials: Trump envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year”Just the News: “Top Qatari official says Trump and his envoy pushed Hamas ceasefire deal ‘over the line’”The Independent: “Trump credited for ceasefire breakthrough as US officials who resigned over Gaza war slam Biden’s inaction”Financial Times: “The US president-elect's belligerent tone had the desired effect, adding momentum to long-stalled talks and culminating with Israel and Hamas agreeing on Wednesday to a ceasefire deal halting the devastating 15-month war in Gaza and freeing the 98 remaining captives held in the strip.”The Washington Post's Ishaan Tharoor: “The successful brokering of a deal can be chalked up to Trump's imminent return to office.”President Trump believes in peace through strength – and this is only the beginning.
