Even Biden Admits It: Trump’s Team Secured the Gaza Ceasefire at Egypt’s Historic Peace Summit — A Rare Moment Democrats Couldn’t Deny His Leadership
History was made in Egypt on October 13, 2025, when world leaders gathered in Sharm El Sheikh for a peace summit that brought an official end to months of fighting in Gaza. But the real headline came hours later, when former President Joe Biden — a man who has rarely uttered a kind word about his predecessor — publicly commended President Donald Trump and his team for getting the renewed ceasefire “over the finish line.”
The words shocked Washington. For the first time, a leading Democrat openly acknowledged what many around the world already knew: the decisive hand behind the Middle East breakthrough belonged to Trump. The deal, finalized under American guidance at the Egyptian-hosted summit, freed the final 20 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, opened humanitarian corridors, and paved the way for reconstruction under international oversight.
“I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line,” Biden wrote on social media Sunday night. His post described the pain of both Israelis and Palestinians, but the moment everyone noticed was his unmistakable nod toward Trump’s leadership — an admission that no one in his party had been willing to make until now.
The Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit was the latest culmination of Trump’s long-term Middle East vision — the same one that produced the Abraham Accords and re-established America as the chief power broker in the region. Behind closed doors, Trump’s foreign-policy team, including several architects of those earlier deals, worked through tense final-hour negotiations with Egypt, Qatar, and Israel to secure the ceasefire. When the papers were finally signed, world leaders applauded what Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi called “a diplomatic victory built on strength.”
For Biden, there was no political upside in giving credit to Trump. Yet even he couldn’t ignore the results. “The road to this deal was not easy,” Biden admitted. “My administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work.” The line quickly became the most quoted sentence of the night — not because of what it said about Biden, but because of what it confirmed about Trump.
Conservative commentators called it “the most reluctant truth of Biden’s career.” On social media, supporters flooded timelines with clips of Trump’s past Middle East remarks predicting that peace would only come “through strength, not surrender.” They noted that the ceasefire plan followed the same model Trump had championed since 2020 — direct engagement with Arab nations, zero tolerance for terror groups, and a focus on humanitarian rebuilding only once hostilities ceased.
Internationally, the reaction was swift. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu credited “American strength and resolve” for the breakthrough, while Qatari diplomats privately acknowledged that the Trump administration’s consistent pressure was what finally moved both sides to agreement. At the summit, Trump’s representatives stood beside Egyptian and Israeli officials in what many observers described as a “victory photo for American diplomacy.”
For the first time in years, both Democrats and Republicans seemed to agree on something — though not equally. Biden’s praise may have been brief, but to millions watching, it validated Trump’s claim that real leadership delivers real results. It also highlighted a growing reality inside Washington: that despite relentless criticism, Trump’s foreign-policy record continues to outshine his opponents.
At Sharm El Sheikh, it wasn’t just a ceasefire that was signed — it was a moment of vindication. Trump’s strategy of peace through power worked again. And even Joe Biden couldn’t deny it.
