Hillary Clinton Offers Rare Praise for Trump’s Israel-Hamas Peace Deal
In an unexpected turn, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly praised President Trump for his handling of the Israel-Hamas peace deal, calling it a commendable achievement. Her remarks came amid wide debate about the diplomatic breakthrough.
Clinton said she “really commends” Trump for bringing both sides to agreement, signaling that even longtime political rivals acknowledge the magnitude of what many see as a foreign policy win. Her words carry weight precisely because she has often been one of the most vocal critics of Trump’s presidency.

The peace agreement, anchored in a 20 point framework, includes terms for hostage exchanges, a ceasefire, and mechanisms for Gaza’s reconstruction. Trump has framed the deal as his signature diplomatic accomplishment in the Middle East era.
While Clinton’s praise may appear surprising, it reflects a moment of bipartisan recognition. She stopped short of endorsing Trump’s entire agenda but underscored that this deal deserves credit where credit is due.
With the region watching closely, her endorsement adds momentum to Trump’s claim of being a “peace president” — an image that plays well with voters who have long sought performance over partisanship. The question now: can the ceasefire hold under pressure, and will Trump’s approach reshape U.S. diplomacy in the region forever?
