Hamas agreed<\/a>\u00a0this week to a peace deal pushed by Trump to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages, two years after the terror group attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.<\/p>\n\nIgnatius told the co-hosts that Trump was able to do what former President Joe Biden was not.<\/p>\n
“I can remember in the month or so after Oct. 7, an Israeli senior official saying to me, \u2018We are so disoriented and traumatized by this war, the United States is going to have to make decisions for us.\u2019 Joe Biden could never do that, and Donald Trump was able to do it \u2014 did it at the decisive moment \u2014 when he said, essentially, this war must end and Israel cannot annex the West Bank, which many right-wing Israelis wanted,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ignatius said Trump’s team, including Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, reached out to the Arabs and developed important relationships.<\/p>\n
\n“What\u2019s interesting about that, Joe and Mika, is that it took ideas from all over the Arab world \u2014 from the UAE, from Qatar, from Saudi Arabia, from Tony Blair in Britain \u2014 and pulled them all together into a single plan with the U.S. weight of support behind it. That\u2019s how we got here. And in each case, it\u2019s Trump deciding these people, endless combatants, cannot do it on their own. \u2018I\u2019m going to intervene forcefully.\u2019 Tragically, that is something that Joe Biden, for all his desire for peace, wasn\u2019t able to do,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
