ABC, NBC Morning Shows Applaud Trump’s ‘Significant’ Peace Agreement with Israel and Hamas
In a surprising twist, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today threw praise at President Donald Trump this Thursday for his role in securing a conditional peace deal involving Israel and Hamas, the militant group in control of Gaza. The networks heralded this development as a “significant” and “noteworthy achievement” for which Trump “definitely deserves recognition.”
Martha Raddatz, ABC’s chief global affairs anchor and co-host of This Week, delivered the most heartfelt accolades, suggesting that “if everything unfolds as intended, if we witness the liberation of hostages and a phased Israeli withdrawal, it would stand as a substantial achievement, and President Trump certainly merits credit for his involvement.”
“He has navigated this through a blend of diplomatic engagement, strategic pressure, and an undeniable force of character. He relentlessly sent diplomats to the negotiating table, wielded threats against Hamas, cautioning that if they rejected the agreement, dire repercussions would follow. The bombing of Iran served as a sobering illustration of what could transpire. But perhaps most crucially, he nudged [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu in a manner that his predecessors could only dream of,” she elaborated.
Raddatz continued by emphasizing Trump’s candid relationship with Netanyahu as a key factor in guiding Israel towards acceptance of the deal, concluding that “should the hostages be freed, which would strip Hamas of their main leverage, this could be a watershed moment for Donald Trump.”

Should this deal proceed as intended, and if hostages are indeed released, it wouldn’t be surprising to see other media outlets adjusting their narratives to align with Raddatz’s optimistic assessment. This is undeniably a situation so critical that it will force a wide acknowledgment of its significance.
