Progressive leaders in the foreign policy sphere have acknowledged President-elect Donald Trump's influence in the recent cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas. Experts have noted that Trump played a significant role in getting the deal done, with some suggesting that President Biden lacked the assertiveness needed to achieve this outcome earlier.
The Center for International Policy executive vice president highlighted Trump's direct involvement in pressing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to end the conflict, a move that Biden was perceived as unwilling to make. The cease-fire agreement, which also includes the release of hostages, was welcomed by both parties this week.
