NCS’s Abby Phillip compelled Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to offer President Donald Trump credit score for the peace deal struck between Israel and Hamas on Wednesday’s version of NCS NewsNight.
After Goldman noticed that the handover of the hostages taken by Hamas can be “very emotional for everybody,” Phillip requested: “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,” identified 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 level proper now, what we bought is the Trump administration is actually main on the world stage, and is and isn’t afraid to say, we insist on this versus appeasing for this. And that’s an unlimited distinction, and the Middle East responds properly to that.
