Biden and Clinton Commend Trump‘s Role in Securing Gaza Ceasefire
SHARM AL-SHEIKH, EGYPT – October โ14, 2025 -โข In a โsurprising turn of events,โข President Joe โฃBiden andโฃ formerโฃ President Bill Clinton have publicly praised former Presidentโ Donald Trump’s previously undisclosed diplomaticโข efforts that contributed to theโข brokering of a ceasefire between Israel โand Hamas. The acknowledgment came following a โขsummit held in Sharm al-Sheikh,Egypt,where details of the agreement where finalized.
The ceasefire, which went โinto effectโ earlier today, marks a significant, albeit fragile, step toward ending the recent escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip. The agreement includes the release of hostages held by Hamas, โa phased withdrawal ofโฃ Israeli forces, and the establishment of โa framework for ongoing negotiations toward a lasting peace. While the details remain sensitive, sources indicate Trump engaged in โคback-channel communications with key regional players in the โคweeks leading up to the breakthrough, leveraging existingโ relationships to facilitate dialog.
The summit in Sharm al-Sheikh,initially convened to address humanitarian concerns inโข Gaza,quickly evolved into a forum for solidifying theโ ceasefireโ terms. President Biden lauded Trump’s “unexpected but valuable contribution,” stating that his involvement “helped to create the necessary conditions forโข a productive dialogue.” Clinton echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of bipartisan cooperation in achieving peace.
the hostage handover,describedโ by observers asโ “a moment of healing,”โ is expected to commence within 24 hours. Israeli officials โฃhave expressed cautious optimism, while Hamas representatives have signaled their commitment to upholding the agreement. Despite โtheโฃ positive developments, concerns remain regarding the long-term stability of the ceasefire and theโค potential for renewed conflict. Discussions are already โขunderwayโ regarding a broader peace initiative, with Tel aviv reportedly considering new approaches to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
