CNN’s Abby Phillip Blasts Obama for Not Crediting Trump for Israel-Hamas Deal

FARAH GRIFFIN: “If this ends — if you’re somebody who called it a genocide, if this ends, Donald Trump deserves credit regardless of anything else you feel about Donald Trump. Certain things are bigger than domestic politics, and even things I might strongly disagree with that are happening in our country, and this moment might be that. And I think he, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner should be — “
PHILLIP: “And perhaps even bigger than the Nobel Peace Prize, you could argue. But there is a desire on the part of a lot of people in MAGA, and this is channeling, I’m sure, what Trump is feeling for credit. President Obama put out this post talking about the peace deal and the prospects of it, and Don Jr. Responded to it, ‘I’ll finish it for you: ‘Thank you, Donald Trump.’’ Honestly, it’s not unfair to say, if President Obama is going to write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he should acknowledge the president that brokered it.”
Simmons: “If Donald Trump gets a peace deal, he deserves the credit. Joe Biden got cease-fires. Joe Biden got hostages released. Now let’s see if not only will we have a ceasefire to get hostages released, but we also get the next step, which is some sort of self-determination for the people who live in Gaza, more security for the people who live in Israel. Is there a way for us to get to a place where we can have actual fairness across that region and people can have a future for themselves? That’s what’s on the table. So let’s celebrate the ceasefire, the return of hostages. It’s a hugely important thing. Now let’s see if we can go to the next step.”
