Former President Biden on Monday lauded President Trump’s recent peace effort for Israel’s war in Gaza after all 20 living Israeli hostages were returned by Hamas.

“I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come – for the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives,” Biden said in a lengthy post on the social platform X.

“The road to this deal was not easy. My Administration worked relentlessly to bring hostages home, get relief to Palestinian civilians, and end the war. I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line,” he added.

The living hostages were returned by Hamas on Monday, with the two sides undertaking the first phase of a peace deal supported by the Trump administration. Israel also freed more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners on Monday as part of the ceasefire deal.

[Exp]

1. 135 hostages were freed during Biden's term..

Oh yeah, FUCK the IDF and Bebe.

The world will NEVER FORGET.

[SunSeeker]

5. Under Biden, 148 hostages were returned alive to Israel.

140 were released and eight were rescued by the Israeli military.

[Cirsium]

2. Very disturbing

That seriously undermines the opposition to Trump. Extremely disappointing.

[SunSeeker]

6. Biden did not say he was deeply grateful to Trump.

He said he was deeply grateful the hostages were released. Misleading headline.

[Polybius]

7. But he did say this:

"I commend President Trump and his team for their work to get a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line," Biden wrote.

[LisaM]

8. He did say "renewed" deal.

Biden will get no credit, of course.

[SunSeeker]

13. Yes, Biden correctly called it a "renewed ceasefire" rather than a peace deal. We have no peace deal.

Too many in the media are misreporting this as a peace deal. It is the 3rd ceasefire since this Gaza war began.

3. So they traded hostages for Trump?

Asking for a friend.

[BigDemVoter]

4. I very strongly wish they

had not done that. That fucking piece of shit deserves NO kudos under any circumstance.

[Glorious bastard]

9. Two qualities Biden has in abundance that Trump is sorely lacking:

Grace and class.

[Paladin]

10. Joe Biden, classy as ever. Now watch trump wipe himself with that compliment. (nt)

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. Total class.

[Clouds Passing]

12. No, President Biden, please just no.

[Torchlight]

14. Pres. Biden gave trump a pat on the shoulder for extending his peace deal

I imagine attempts will be made to turn this benign reaction into more than it warrants.

15. Damning with faint praise is lost on most. NT
