Arab officials: Trump envoy swayed Netanyahu more in one meeting than Biden did all year

I wouldn't uncritically accept what those "Arab officials" say. They've got every incentive to give Trump all the credit (he's going to be in charge for the next four years and loves flattery), and no incentive at all to give Biden anything (he's out the door in five days). So even if the agreement was the result of months of hard work over the last several months by the Administration (along with the Egyptian and Qatari governments), and reinforced by Biden's refusal to cut of weapons despite the political price he was paying within his party....no one's going to say that. Even if it's true. It will be the Big Beautiful Trump and his One Meeting.
