Hillary Clinton Offers Rare Praise For President Trump


by Anthony 1 day ago






This doesn’t happen very often.

Hillary Clinton offered some raise praise for President Trump.

During a recent interview with CBS News Clinton shared she really really “commends” President trump and his administration for orchestrating a peace plan between Hamas and Israel.


CBS News reported more on Clinton’s remarks:

Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice on Friday praised the Trump administration’s success in reaching a Middle East peace deal. Both of the former secretaries of state are still cautiously watching to see how the early phases play out but expressed some optimism about its prospects.

Clinton and Rice joined CBS News 24/7 for a live interview with CBS News senior correspondent Norah O’Donnell to discuss the Israel-Hamas peace plan brokered by President Trump as the first stage of the deal takes shape.

The conversation took place two days after the signing of a landmark deal in which Hamas agreed to release all remaining hostages taken on Oct. 7, 2023, and Israel pledged to withdraw its military from parts of the Gaza Strip. Mr. Trump has called the deal the “first phase” of a comprehensive 20-point plan to end the two-year-long Israel-Hamas war. The president plans to travel to the Middle East as soon as this weekend, and said he hopes to be present for the return of the hostages.

“I really commend President Trump and his administration, as well as Arab leaders in the region for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” Clinton told O’Donnell.

O’Donnell asked Rice if she is confident this is the end of the war.

“No one can be completely confident, given the history of the Middle East,” Rice replied, but she added that there are good reasons to be optimistic.

Rice and Clinton both said the Israelis and Palestinians must get through this first phase of the deal — and that still isn’t certain.

“That’s not self-evident,” Clinton said. It’s going to take a lot of work. It’s going to take a lot of coordination.”

One of the difficulties in achieving a lasting peace in the Middle East is getting various parties on board, but the fact that there’s a broader coalition of Middle Eastern states involved in this agreement is a good sign, Rice said.

“The one piece that I’m most concerned about is, how do you get from a kind of transitional authority of some kind, a truly representative Palestinian authority?” Rice asked. “The Palestinian authority, which controls the West Bank, lost control of Gaza after 2006, has not really been reformed in a long time. And it needs reform. It needs younger blood.”

Clinton called Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar’s capital of Doha in September “ill-advised” and a “strategic error” that gave Mr. Trump’s negotiators an opening.

“That provided an opening for both President Trump and his representatives to marshal all of the regional powers, including, of course, Qatar, but also to make it clear to Israel, ‘No, this is now enough. We cannot continue this. This conflict needs to end, and we’ve got to move on.'”

Clinton said of U.S. negotiators, “They took advantage of an opening that was available and were able to be successful.”

Not everyone is giving Trump admin his credit.

Former President Barack Obama released a statement on the peace agreement in the Middle East but did not give Trump any credit.


Take a look:

After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered.

More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
