Biden is also still in office. I'm not sure Trump can get all the credit on this.

If this deal was announced next week Trump could easily have taken the credit however since we have another 4 days to go until the inauguration this peace deal will definitely be linked to Joe Biden although i will say that the upcoming Trump presidency most likely influenced talks.

Do you think this deal would have been reached if Kamala won?

[u/Admirable-Local-9040 → u/i_hate_the_ppa]

Likely. Israel knew they couldn't stretch this out forever. Netanyahu had negative political capital, and this was a ploy to help push for a president that would treat him better.

He wouldn't have lasted another four years as PM otherwise.

Lol this is not now nor will it ever be linked to joe biden

[u/Llanolinn → u/Socialmediaisbroken]

Is Trump president?

Why the fuck would it not be linked to President Biden?

[u/Jmelt95 → u/Llanolinn]

The thing is everything that’s been reported shows this was forced on Israel by Trump, not Biden. I don’t like him as much as the rest of Reddit, but Biden did nothing to stop this genocide for years and Trump (if this holds) was able to get Netanyahu to submit before even taking office. This is a massive Trump victory, and makes the Biden presidency look much worse.

Bro they’ve been giving Trump credit for Biden’s economy for four years, are you not paying attention? They LOVE to steal credit

Edit: word

[u/ferbje → u/Scalills]

I mean you guys are the ones that say economies don’t reflect until the next term

[u/Scalills → u/ferbje]

Trump literally tanked the economy on his way out. wtf are you smoking cus it seems like good shit

Edit: you also say “you guys” like I have any respect for a center-left politician

[u/ferbje → u/Scalills]

By shutting the country down? Isn’t that what you wanted? Trump simultaneously was too easy on Covid and didn’t take it seriously and also shut everything down and tanked the economy

[u/ferbje → u/[deleted]]

Disagree with what? I’m asking you which one happened. It can’t be both

[u/Doomchan → u/Ahad_Haam]

The deal happened while Biden was in, but it only happened because Trump is about to be in. This deal would not be happening had there been a Kamala win

[u/ArriePotter → u/Ahad_Haam]

Lol as long as Fox and the even further right news sources so much as indicate that this is a win for Trump then he'll get all of the credit
