Hamas Hostages Release, Ceasefire Achieved
President Biden is rushing to claim victory after an announcement that Hamas hostages were being released and a ceasefire agreement had been reached, but is this really his doing? Indeed, they were not.
Today’s victories were achieved thanks to incoming President-elect Donald Trump’s efforts which Biden calls a “joke.”
In the statement where Biden took credit for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, he stated:
“My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done,” but what’s clear is how it was Trump, along with his envoy Steven Witkoff, who are at the heart of this major shift.
Facts are pesky things, however, but the truth remains: for over a year, President Biden failed to reach a ceasefire agreement. It wasn’t until Trump won the 2024 Presidential election that there was any movement on the issue.
:rotating_light: JUST IN: Joe Biden has taken credit for President Trump’s ceasefire deal

Joe Biden has spent 15 MONTHS trying to get a ceasefire deal and failed.
President Trump sent an envoy of his own to negotiate the deal, and due to his strength and leadership, he got it done.

Trump’s involvement was the linchpin to achieving the hostage release, this was confirmed by Arab officials who claimed that in one meeting with Trump, more was achieved than had been with Biden.
As reported in the Times of Israel, “Trump’s envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year.”
CONCLUSION
What’s amazing to see is how the nations of the world began shifting after the election of Donald Trump.
This serves as an excellent example of the power that comes when those who are in places of authority are willing to take a strong, righteous stand for their own nation, but also, for the nation of Israel.
“I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”” Genesis 12:2-3
What’s clear is this – the season of “peace through diversity and limp wrists” is over and the era of “peace through strength” is in.
