President Donald Trump has just orchestrated a Middle East miracle that even the most skeptical among us can’t ignore.
The New York Post reported that in a stunning turn of events, Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, securing the release of the last 20 living Israeli hostages and establishing a ceasefire, all during the "Summit for Peace" in Egypt, while many leading Democrats remain conspicuously tight-lipped about his involvement.
The story begins with Trump heading to Egypt for the "Summit for Peace," where he took center stage in negotiating a fragile but groundbreaking agreement.
This deal wasn’t just a photo op—it included Hamas freeing the final 20 Israeli hostages held in captivity, a moment of profound relief for families and a nation.
On top of that, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect, halting the violence that has scarred the region for far too long.
After sealing the deal, Trump didn’t rest on his laurels; he addressed the Israeli Knesset on Monday, where he was greeted as a hero for championing this peace plan.
From there, Trump returned to Egypt that same day to meet with leaders from over two dozen nations, focusing on the critical task of rebuilding Gaza.
These are monumental steps, yet the silence from much of the Democratic establishment is deafening—many on Capitol Hill have cheered the hostage release and ceasefire, but conveniently omitted Trump’s name from their applause.
Far-left figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) haven’t uttered a peep about the agreement or Trump’s role, which raises eyebrows about whether ideology trumps results in their worldview.
A handful of Democrats, when cornered by reporters, offered lukewarm nods to Trump’s efforts, while others, like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), gave credit where it was due, acknowledging the achievement with rare candor.
Schumer said, “Today is a wonderful day. Finally, finally, finally, the last living hostages brutally held by Hamas are home, an immense and overwhelming sigh of relief” (Chuck Schumer).
He added, “I commend the enormous advocacy of the tireless hostage families, President Trump, his administration, and all who helped make this moment happen” (Chuck Schumer). Isn’t it refreshing to see a Democrat admit the obvious, even if it’s through gritted teeth?
Other prominent voices, like Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, voluntarily praised Trump’s work, with Hillary noting his commitment to a detailed plan for the region’s future—yet such admissions remain outliers in a party seemingly allergic to giving credit across the aisle.
Former President Joe Biden also tipped his hat on Monday, commending Trump for finalizing the ceasefire, though Biden administration alumni like Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan were quick to claim their own share of the glory, insisting the framework was theirs all along.
Blinken remarked, “It’s good that President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden Administration developed” (Antony Blinken). While it’s noble to share credit, one can’t help but wonder if this is less about teamwork and more about saving face after years of stalled progress under their watch.
Even former President Barack Obama acknowledged the Middle East breakthrough but couldn’t bring himself to mention Trump, a snub that speaks volumes about the partisan lens through which some view even the most unifying of achievements.
Look, peace in the Middle East isn’t a partisan football to be kicked around—it’s a hard-won victory that should transcend petty politics, yet the reluctance of many Democrats to recognize Trump’s role suggests they’re more comfortable with narrative control than celebrating a genuine win for humanity.
