However, the new Trump administration took credit for the deal, 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 reportedly played a key role in the deal.
Trump thanked Witkoff for his efforts to help secure the deal during the rally, while arguing that war would not have broken out in the Middle East if he had been president.
