Joe Biden says he worked 'relentlessly' to bring hostages home in reaction to Trump's achievementsFormer President Joe Biden reacted to President Donald Trump's historic Israel-Hamas peace deal on Monday by touting his own administration's work.
Biden claimed his administration worked "relentlessly" to achieve things Trump made happen.
"The road to this deal was not easy," Biden wrote in an X post. "My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war."
Biden did "commend President Trump and his team for their work," but claimed Trump simply got "a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line."
Biden did admit that now the Middle East is on a path to peace and said he hopes it endures.
This as former Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed Trump’s 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip was based on one developed by the Biden administration.
"It starts with a clear and comprehensive post-conflict plan for Gaza," Blinken wrote on X. "It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden administration developed after months of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian Authority."
