WASHINGTON — Former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan somewhat begrudgingly credited President Trump for successfully brokering a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas that had been elusive to former President Joe Biden.
Sullivan contended that “time and circumstance” enabled Trump to get it done and claimed that the basic framework was similar to the concept that the prior administration had in mind to end the Israel-Hamas war.
“It’s only now, after all that time, that we have gotten to a deal,” Sullivan told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday when pressed on why Biden wasn’t able to get the deal done.
“In April and May and June, July, August, September, it didn’t happen,” he continued. “I think it’s also a question that the Trump administration has to grapple with, because, of course, they have been in charge for quite some time now.”
