Trump Cheered in Israel, As Liberal Media Makes Stunning Statements Praising Him and Chiding Obama – RedState
President Donald Trump achieved a monumental feat with the Gaza peace deal.
He will travel to Israel to speak on Monday. The hostages are expected to be released on Monday. Twenty of the remaining 48 people are believed to be alive.
The deal’s key negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were in Israel before Trump on Saturday. They stood in Tel Aviv’s Hostage Square alongside Ivanka Trump and a crowd of tens of thousands waving Israeli and American flags, applauding the Trump team’s accomplishments.

People chanted, “Thank you, Trump!” Thanks, Trump! »
“Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary. A moment that many thought impossible – and yet here we are, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen,” Witkoff said.
“We are here tonight, Jews, Christians, Muslims and people from the four corners of the world, united by a common prayer for peace,” he said during his speech.
From Israel, Trump will then travel to Egypt to formally sign the 20-point plan.
What was astonishing was the attitude of the liberal media on the issue, particularly CNN.
Not only did they point out the “endless applause” for Trump, but anchor Wolf Blitzer even noticed the MAGA hats in the plaza.
“Endless applause for President Trump.”
“I even saw people wearing Make America Great Again hats in that crowd at Hostage Square.”

Do you see the pigs flying? It’s something.
But it’s even better.
As we reported, former President Barack Obama issued a statement on the peace deal. But somehow he managed to do it without even mentioning Trump, who played such an integral role in making it happen.

CNN host Abby Phillip criticized Obama for not mentioning Trump’s name in his brief statement.

Did you ever think you’d see CNN criticizing Obama for shortchanging Trump?
Of course she’s right. Obama should have done it.
This is a man who blew up the Middle East with his decisions, and he clearly had a hard time recognizing that Trump was right and had done more. He got the Nobel Prize for nothing, but it was Trump who did the work; If he one day wins the Nobel, his achievements will live on.
