Trump Behind The Ceasefire, Not Biden?

Florida Congressman Mike Waltz, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, recently praised Trump for his role in the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement reached in late October. Waltz, who has been nominated as Trump’s national security adviser for his next administration, expressed that it was Trump’s leadership that helped drive the peace process forward.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Waltz credited Trump’s “resounding victory” in the 2024 election for sending a strong message to the international community, signaling that instability and chaos would no longer be tolerated. “Everyone is coming to the table because of President Trump,” Waltz wrote. “I’m glad to see concrete steps toward de-escalation in the Middle East.”

This comment from Waltz stands in stark contrast to the narrative being pushed by the Biden administration. While President Joe Biden publicly took credit for brokering the ceasefire, with support from nations like Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar, Waltz chose not to mention Biden’s involvement in his own comments. Instead, he focused on how Trump’s leadership had already shifted global dynamics, allowing for such negotiations to take place.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who will be succeeded by Waltz if confirmed, responded to Waltz’s remarks by downplaying Trump’s influence. Sullivan asserted that while Waltz may have been “kept in the loop” during negotiations, Trump was not the central figure in securing the ceasefire.

However, Republican leaders like Senator Lindsey Graham have sought to balance the credit. While Graham acknowledged the Biden administration’s efforts, he also noted that Trump’s past influence and leadership were critical to making peace possible in the region.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, ending over a year of violent conflict, is a significant moment in Middle Eastern diplomacy. But it also highlights the ongoing debate about the role of the U.S. in global peace efforts, and the influence of past and current leaders. For many Republicans, Trump’s firm stance on foreign policy and his ability to project American strength are key factors that allowed such agreements to materialize.
