Former Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday supported President Trump getting credit for the deal between Israel and Hamas.
“Do you think he deserves credit here?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Sullivan on “State of the Union.”
“Of course he does. And I give credit to President Trump, I give credit to [Steve] Witkoff and [Jared] Kushner and [Secretary of State Marco] Rubio. These are hard jobs. The president of the United States is the hardest job in the world, and these other jobs, including the job I occupied, are tremendously difficult,” Sullivan responded.
“And to get to something like today takes a village, and it takes determination and really hard work, and so I, without question, offer credit for that,” he added.
Trump recently announced that Israel and Hamas had reached an agreement to free the remaining Israeli hostages and halt fighting in Gaza.
The president said Israel and Hamas had backed “the first Phase” of a peace plan announced in late September, a notable reprieve to stop a war that had gone on for over two years since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) also said on Sunday that Trump “should get a lot of credit” on the deal between Israel and Hamas.
“Think he should get a lot of credit. I mean, this was his deal. He worked this out. He sent Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, you know, over to negotiate this and it so far has gone well,” Kelly said earlier on “State of the Union.”
“Hopefully the hostages get released here, might not be within 24 hours, but certainly, I think by Monday. And that’s progress, and now we’re going to have to see what happens next,” he added.On Monday, Trump is set to address Israel’s legislature and attend a Middle East peace ceremony in Egypt. The president’s Knesset address is scheduled for 11 a.m. local time, a little under two hours after he is expected to reach Tel Aviv.
