“I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line,” Biden said in a post on X, acknowledging the current administration’s efforts to halt hostilities between Israel and Hamas.

Biden, who served as president until January, also emphasized the importance of continued humanitarian and diplomatic efforts. He noted that his own administration had “worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war,” which began in October 2023 during his tenure.

Clinton, too, offered rare words of praise for Trump, writing on X that “President Trump and his administration, Qatar, and other regional actors deserve great credit for keeping everyone engaged until the agreement was reached.”

The former president, who has often criticized Trump in the past, urged all parties to seize the opportunity for lasting peace. “Israel and Hamas, with U.S. support, must turn this fragile moment into lasting peace,” Clinton said. “I believe it’s possible — if they do it together.”

The bipartisan recognition underscores the significance of the ceasefire deal, which international observers hope will mark a turning point in a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced many more.

While Trump’s approach to Middle East diplomacy has often drawn controversy, the ceasefire agreement has garnered cautious optimism from across the political spectrum — a rare moment of consensus in an otherwise divided Washington.
