President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The negotiations, which have been ongoing for months, saw the involvement of Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, alongside Biden's Mideast pointman, Brett McGurk.
Trump asserted that his administration's historic victory in November paved the way for the ceasefire agreement, signaling a commitment to peace and safety for Americans and allies. He highlighted the imminent return of American and Israeli hostages as a positive outcome of the deal.
