Hillary Clinton offered rare praise for former President Donald Trump’s handling of the Gaza peace deal during a recent interview, acknowledging his administration’s success in making progress on the long-standing conflict.
“I really commend President Trump and his administration,” Clinton told CBS News 24/7 Friday.
“As well as Arab leaders in the region, for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” she added.
Clinton’s remarks came one day after Hamas agreed to Trump’s peace proposal in a surprise development expected to bring an end to the two-year conflict in the Gaza Strip.
The agreement — met with approval from both Gazans and Israelis — provides for the release of the remaining 48 Israeli hostages as early as Monday and calls for a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory.
