Joe Biden leaves the White home with his head up. At his last consecutive presidency Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization agreed on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. It will enter into force on Sunday, January 19, and will initially apply for 42 days.
Trump, however, attributes success to himself. The reaction of the outgoing president did not take long. “Is this a joke?” Biden asked.
Who's liable for the deal? According to future U.S. president Donald Trump, the issue is clear: "This epic ceasefire agreement could only have occurred as a consequence of our historical triumph in November last year," he said on Wednesday. To put it plainly, he believes that the ceasefire is entirely his work.
However, US president Joe Biden sees things differently. erstwhile asked if Trump deserved credit, Biden replied, “Is this a joke?” After a while he added, "You know, this is precisely the agreement I proposed in May ub.r." That means he's not going to give Trump the field in this case.
On Monday, however, Biden will gotta step down to the fresh president of the United States. Trump announced that on the first day, he would reverse many decisions of his Democratic predecessor. Is Biden's Gaza agreement besides overturned?
Israel divided
W October 7 massacre Hamas terrorists in Israel killed about 1,200 people and about 250 were kidnapped. According to Palestinian data, over 46,000 people were killed as a consequence of the war in the Gaza Strip and more than 110 000 were injured.
In Israel alone, the agreement was met with mixed reactions. 1 side is happy that their relatives yet return and peace returns. The another side, however, criticises Israel for the deficiency of consistent demolition of Hamas. They are peculiarly annoyed by the release of prisoners. "A freed terrorist is tomorrow's killer," said 1 of the demonstrators in Jerusalem.
Trump present at the negotiations
Unlike another Biden decisions — specified as on migration and climate — Trump is behind this agreement. The fresh U.S. president was active in negotiations, and his peculiar envoy to the mediate East, Steve Witkoff, even played a key role.
— Witkoff embodies the perfect of Trump’s confidant: without political experience, without interest in diplomatic conventions, directed solely to scope an agreement. Thus, Trump is expected to support these agreements,” says Blick Philipp Adorf, an expert on US affairs at the University of Bonn.
Trump is under pressure.
Anyway, Trump can proceed his efforts for peace in the mediate East.
“ Adorf explains.
This is due to the fact that Republican is not curious in dealing with another conflict centre at the beginning of his word of office.
Abraham's agreements were concluded in 2020/21. between the US, Israel, Bahrain, the United arabian Emirates, Morocco and Sudan. The nonsubjective was clear: promoting cooperation and peace.
Last week Trump threatened Hamas that “hell would break loose”if the hostages do not return home before he takes office. His safety advisor Mike Waltz repeated this threat on Wednesday. ‘The gas must be completely demilitarized, Hamas must be destroyed so that it cannot be rebuilt. Israel has the full right to complete protection," he said.
Thank you from Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu thanked Donald Trump on Wednesday. The Republican helped Israel "to end the suffering of tens of hostages and their families". Netanjahu besides praised Trump's statements that the US wanted to work with Israel to guarantee that the Gaza Strip would never become a haven for terrorists. They both wanted to meet shortly in Washington to discuss these and another issues.
Usually enemies, Biden and Trump seem to work hand in hand in this case. But this cooperation isn't that close. In the end, the thought is that each of them should attribute success to themselves.: Biden due to the fact that he finalized the agreement, and Trump due to the fact that he forced Hamas to surrender his powerful threats.
