CNN’s Abby Phillip Forces Democrat to Credit Trump for Gaza Peace Deal: ‘Trump Has Changed That Dynamic’

CNN’s Abby Phillip forced Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to give President Donald Trump credit for the peace deal struck between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight.

After Goldman observed that the handover of the hostages taken by Hamas will be “very emotional for everybody,” Phillip asked: “Why do you think this was not doable when President Biden was in office?”

“I think the biggest problem that President Biden had is there was no pressure from Qatar, from Turkey, from Egypt. They were actually facilitating in many ways what was going on. And that is really ultimately how it all came together,” replied Goldman.

“So I mean, but I think by saying that, it’s sort of an acknowledgement Trump has changed that dynamic. I mean, he’s clearly changed that,” pointed out Phillip.

“Yeah, no, I think that-, I don’t know how he-, and I think there’s a lot that remains to learn about what prompted that change, but I do agree. Yes, somehow, some way that changed,” admitted Goldman. “What also changed is that there was a humanitarian aid blockade under Trump’s administration, which Biden never allowed to happen, and that really set Israel back significantly.”

“I think that we’re looking at the difference between appeasement versus leadership,” chimed in conservative radio host Phil Williams. “At this point right now, what we got is the Trump administration is truly leading on the world stage, and is and is not afraid to say, we insist on this as opposed to appeasing for this. And that’s a vast difference, and the Middle East responds well to that.
