Arab Leaders Praise Trump for Accomplishing More in One Meeting Than Woeful Biden Did All Year

Talk about "hit the ground running."

President-elect Donald Trump has virtually redefined the pre-presidency more than any soon-to-be president in U.S. history. From corporation after corporation running away from DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) insanity to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Facebook would kick its notorious "fact-checkers" to the curb in favor of free expression to now, an apparent breakthrough in hostage negotiations between Israel and Hamas, Trump and his team continue to amaze.

BREAKING: Israel, Hamas Agree on Ceasefire, Hostage Deal

As reported by The Times of Israel on Wednesday under the headline "Arab officials: Trump envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year," a "tense Jerusalem sit-down led to breakthrough in talks, with Israel and Hamas agreeing in principle to hostage deal two days later [with] sides now finalizing implementation details."

While the devil is in the details, as we've seen countless times during past negotiations between the Jewish state and the Islamist terrorist group, the announcement is nothing short of incredible. Think about it.

Outgoing President Joe Biden has thrown Israel under the bus at every opportunity in the aftermath of the horrific October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, in which Hamas and several other Palestinian Islamist groups launched coordinated armed incursions into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, murdering roughly 1,200 civilians, including more than 40 American citizens, and taking 251 innocent people hostage, including 12 Americans.

The attack coincided with the Jewish religious holiday Simchat Torah.

Yet Biden has despicably called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare a ceasefire against Hamas — without unconditional pledges from the terrorist organization to release remaining hostages that they haven't murdered.

Two Arab officials told The Times a weekend meeting between Netanyahu and Trump's incoming Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff led to a breakthrough in the negotiations, with Witkoff doing more to sway Netanyahu in a single sit-down than Biden did all year.

How could that be? The answer is simple. Netanyahu knows that Trump, unlike Biden, will continue to have Israel's back.

Here's more:

Witkoff has been in Doha for the past week to take part in the hostage negotiations, as mediators try to secure a deal before Trump’s January 20 inauguration. On Saturday, Witkoff flew to Israel for a meeting with Netanyahu at the premier’s Jerusalem office.
During the meeting, Witkoff urged Netanyahu to accept key compromises necessary for an agreement, the two Arab officials on Monday told The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity. Neither Witkoff nor Netanyahu’s office responded to requests for comment.
On Monday night — two days after the Jerusalem meeting — Israeli and Hamas negotiating teams notified mediators that they accepted the hostage deal proposal in principle, the two officials said. The sides have since been working to finalize the details regarding the implementation of the agreement.
One of the main issues that has yet to be finalized is the exact parameters of the IDF’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, with mediators still waiting for a map from Israel laying this out, the Arab officials said.
The two officials speculated that a deal would be announced on Wednesday or Thursday in the form of a joint statement from the US, Qatar and Egypt, who have been mediating between Israel and Hamas.

Again, the devil is in the details. But here's the thing:

Trump said during a January 7 press conference at Mar-a-Lago that "all hell will break out” if Hamas doesn't release the remaining hostage before Inauguration Day.

Amazing, isn't it, how effective strong leadership can be when it comes to dealing with the world's bad guys?

Moreover, the bad guys are more than aware that when Donald Trump speaks, he not only means what he says; he also has a tendency to follow up on his no-nonsense warnings.
