President Biden, first in a written statement and soon afterward in brief remarks at the White House, said the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas was based around a framework he proposed last May.
The most striking moment of Biden’s appearance came at its conclusion. A reporter asked whether the “history books” would credit the current president or Trump for the deal.
“Is that a joke?” Biden snapped back.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, pressed on the topic later in the afternoon at her final media briefing, told reporters, “Everybody’s going to want some credit. … What I can say is the president got it done.”
