Former President Joe Biden broke from his usual criticisms of Donald Trump to praise the current president’s role in brokering the recent ceasefire deal in Gaza. After months of conflict following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, the peace agreement led to the release of hostages and a ceasefire that brings hope to the region.
Speaking on social media platform X, Biden expressed relief and gratitude for the outcome, calling it a difficult, hard-fought process. He recognized the efforts of both his own administration and Trump’s team for securing a renewed ceasefire, applauding the work to bring hostages home and help Palestinian civilians.
“The road to this deal was not easy,” Biden wrote, adding that the peace agreement has placed the Middle East on a hopeful path toward lasting peace, providing a future of dignity and safety for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Biden’s praise came shortly after Trump traveled to Israel and Egypt to finalize the deal with world leaders, marking a sudden moment of bipartisan recognition amid their ongoing political rivalry.
