Biden took credit for signing the ceasefire agreement in his opening remarks of his final address to the nation last week. However, credit for reaching the agreement has been extended by the incoming Trump administration, according to sources who told Fox Digital that a recent meeting between Trump's new Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a pivotal role in the deal.
Trump thanked Witkoff for his efforts to help secure the deal during the rally, while saying that war would not have broken out in the Middle East if he had been president.
