Witkoff, for example, has attended meetings since last November&rsquo;s election.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What I can say is that the president got it done,&rdquo; Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. &ldquo;We were able to coordinate with the Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">transition team<\/a>, but this was a framework the president put out.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump has been seeking credit for the deal, the first phase of which will include the release of American hostages who have been held in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gaza<\/a> since the Oct. 7 attacks, contending it was only made possible because he won the election.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is something that&rsquo;s been in the works for months.

Yes, and we&rsquo;ve been very forthcoming about that, but the fact of the matter is it took someone who has the experience that this president had to get this going, to get this moving, to understand what negotiations look like, and that&rsquo;s what this president was able to bring to the table, and it got done under his watch.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>During an impromptu address announcing the deal, Biden told the country he and Trump had been &ldquo;speaking as one team&rdquo; recently regarding the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;d also note, this deal was developed and negotiated under my administration but its terms will be implemented, for the most part, by the next administration,&rdquo; he said. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked by a reporter after his remarks whether he or Trump should be credited for the deal, Biden was snippy in his reply.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Is that a joke?&rdquo; he asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1936054\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1936054\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden administration conflicted on Trump&#8217;s role in Israel-Hamas ceasefire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2652,"featured_media":2390857,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/karine-jean-pierre-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32502,3817,32402,48588,48589],"class_list":["post-2390856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-administration","tag-diplomacy","tag-international-relations","tag-israel-hamas-deal","tag-trump-crediting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/karine-jean-pierre-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2652"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2390856"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390856\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2390864,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390856\/revisions\/2390864"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2390857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2390856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2390856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2390856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
