Joe Biden wouldn’t give President-elect Trump credit for the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas but his own State Department just did and said Trump’s participation was “absolutely critical” to getting the deal:
“When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump’s team, it has been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line. And it’s been critical, obviously, as I stand here today, this administration’s term in office will expire in five days…
I don’t know if it’s unprecedented to have envoys from an outgoing and an incoming administration sitting at the same table negotiation a ceasefire agreement of this kind, but if it’s not unprecedented it’s certainly unusual.
We of course, we thank the Trump team for working with this on this ceasefire agreement. We think it’s important that they were at the table.”
Watch:
NEW: Biden’s own state department gives credit to Trump for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, an hour after Biden gave the credit to himself.
That has to hurt.

That’s unexpected but refreshing to hear from Biden’s horrible state department.
Listening to KJP do her press conference now, she is refusing to give Trump credit for this deal. She claims ‘everyone wants credit’ and proceeds to laud Biden for the deal.
Bye KJP.
