Joe Biden tried to pretend that he was responsible for the recent hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, but even the Arabs busted that lie.
After the hostage deal was announced, Biden rushed before the cameras to take credit for the deal, ABC News reported.
Biden gleefully said that Wednesday was “a very good afternoon.”
“The elements of this deal were what I laid out in detail this past May, which was embraced by countries around the world and endorsed overwhelmingly by the UN Security Council,” Biden said from the White House as loser VP Kamala Harris and disastrous Secretary of State Antony Blinken stood behind him.
Trump quickly jumped to his own statement and asked rhetorically, “Is that a joke?”
De3spite Biden attempting to take credit where no credit is due, Qatari officials busted Biden’s claims and laid the success at Donald Trump’s feet.
Per Just the News:
Qatar’s Minister of State told Just the News that the deal unveiled Wednesday was made possible because President-elect Donald Trump coordinated with Biden’s outgoing team, made a powerful warning to both sides to reach a deal before he was inaugurated and then dispatched his own envoy to the region, Steve Witkoff, to help seal the deal, especially with a wary Israel.
“President-elect Trump has been clear in his public statements that he wants to see an end to the war as soon as possible. These messages supported our efforts as we continued mediating between the parties to try to finalize an agreement,” Mohammed Al-Khulaifi said Wednesday night.
“Steve Witkoff in particular has been actively engaged in the discussions to get a deal over the line,” the minister added. “He has been in Doha, working closely with our team to close the gaps between the two sides in the final few days.”
Others in the Mid-East also praised the Trump Effect on the negotiations:
Newspapers across the Middle East affirmed the dynamic as details of the deal – still fragile and capable of changing – began spilling out.
“Trump envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year,” The Times of Israel blared in a headline.
If there is any success to tout, it appears that it belongs to Trump.
