The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is being paraded as a victory for Joe Biden, but the reality is far less flattering for the president. While he is enthusiastic about claiming credit, the truth is that this development is largely due to the tough stance taken by President-elect Donald Trump. Trump’s decisive threats towards Hamas concerning the return of hostages sent a clear message that could not be ignored, prompting a shift in negotiations that Biden now eagerly touts as his success.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hasn’t been shy about acknowledging the influence of Trump’s leadership during this crisis. Even officials within Biden’s own State Department, including spokesperson Matt Miller, have recognized the significant role Trump played in bringing about the ceasefire. Yet somehow, Biden persists in his delusional narrative that he alone deserves the accolades. This refusal to credit Trump only serves to expose his own insecurities and political gamesmanship.
The president’s recent remarks about Hamas demonstrate a stunning level of ignorance. When asked if there were concerns about Hamas regrouping after this supposed victory, Biden flat-out dismissed any worries, stating there was “no way out” and that he was “proud of the deal.” Such a statement reveals a profound disconnect from reality, as history shows that Hamas has always returned to the drawing board with renewed vigor following ceasefires. Claiming to have no concerns is not just naive; it borders on the absurd.

Biden’s puzzling understanding of foreign affairs has prompted incredulity among political observers and journalists alike. Some have expressed disbelief at his apparent confidence in a situation that has spiraled out of control time and again, with comments reflecting the ongoing chaos in his handling of international matters. From the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which he confidently predicted would tick along smoothly, to the turmoil in Syria, Biden’s foreign policy has produced nothing but chaos and retreat. His latest proclamations about Hamas fit a consistent pattern of misguided optimism that reality has ruthlessly dispelled.
As Biden exits the stage—expected to be soon—his claim of continuing involvement in the ongoing situation feels utterly detached from the truth. With just one day left in his presidency, the notion that he could somehow influence future negotiations is laughable at best. In a time when he’s seemingly fabricating new constitutional amendments, the prospect of Biden leaving behind further messes for Trump to clean up feels sadly inevitable. As the clock runs down, the nation can only hope for a return to leadership that recognizes the complexities of foreign policy rather than dismissing them outright.
