    So why are Democrats already spinning their comments as if Biden is achieving a ceasefire right now?

      Can you share a link to an example? First time I’m hearing about it.

        They could probably cite Fox news claiming it.

          I might be blind, where are those articles saying Biden admin solved it? They are saying opposite?

            I thought you meant evidence Trump was responsible for the ceasefire. For Democrats trying to claim credit here is an example.

            Trump and Biden both claim credit for Gaza ceasefire deal

              Wait, so from this article Biden’s guy said that “we want you to do X” while Trump’s guy said “we want the same” and then everyone agreed?

      What makes you think Trump should get the credit?

      Biden said his admin and the incoming Trump admin worked together on it, and Trump’s is responsible for the implementation and continuance of the agreement.

            We shall see if Trump will cover and lie for Netanyahu like Biden did.

              lol or you and that articles anonymous sources were wrong….

              Its ok to be wrong. I find it kinda funny though that you had to downvote a purely factual article just because you didn’t like the development of the situation.

              It can’t be the source because you used the same one 40 minutes ago: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16115856

                Do you understand the difference between Democrats trying to take credit, and Israelis and Arab sources attributing the credit to Trump?

                One takes credit. The other is given credit.

                  Wrong.

                  Trump is claiming credit for all of it. Biden is claiming credit for the agreement, while acknowledging Trump was kept informed and is responsible for the implementation.

                  Anyone with internet access can compare what we know about the plan and what Biden proposed last year and see the similarities.

                  Just because Trump posted to social media first doesn’t mean he did shit.

                  Now you’re just grasping at air to try and not be wrong.

                    Bidens deal was on the table since June. Presenting an agreement has little value if he lets Netanyahu refuse it.
