AOC: Release of Gaza Hostages Is a Tremendous Accomplishment But Trump Is Also an ‘Obstacle to Peace’

Collins: “I don‘t think I‘ve seen you say anything publicly, maybe I‘m wrong, about the ceasefire in Gaza. Do you believe President Trump deserves credit for that?”
Ocasio-Cortez: “Well, you know, I find these — there have been several ceasefire announcements and developments that have happened over the past two years. I think that the release of the hostages is a tremendous accomplishment and it is providing so much healing to so many people, Israelis and Palestinians, and it is a profound and important moment in this conflict. I also think that, as President Trump was on the plane back to the United States, there‘s already indications and questions about whether this ceasefire will hold. And I pray that it does, for everyone‘s benefit. I pray that it does. But I do believe we need to see if it holds. I don‘t believe that there‘s been a history of fidelity to these agreements, and so I think we have to ensure that that we will see the terms held to.”
Collins: “But do you give him credit? Do you give him credit, though, for getting to this point, where it did get those 20 hostages back home with their families?”
Ocasio-Cortez: “In this particular development, yes. But we also know that President Trump was an obstacle to peace previously, as well.”
