Martha Raddatz of ABC News praised Trump today over the historic peace deal he is brokering between Israel and Hamas, which is expected to free all of the hostages early next week.
Raddatz called it a ‘remarkable achievement’ and said ‘Trump certainly deserves credit’ for his role. Will wonders never cease?
This is one of those times when the news is actually bigger than the media. There is no way for them to spin this negatively.

ABC, NBC Morning Shows Hail Trump’s ‘Huge,’ ‘Remarkable’ Peace Deal with Israel, Hamas
On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today offered rare effusive praise of President Donald Trump for his leadership to broker a conditional peace deal between Israel and the Islamic terror group governing the Gaza Strip, Hamas. The two networks trumpeted it as a “huge” and “remarkable achievement” Trump “most certainly deserves credit.”
ABC chief global affairs anchor and This Week co-host Martha Raddatz was the most laudatory, arguing “if this goes as planned, if we see the remaining hostages freed and Israel begin its withdrawal, it is a remarkable achievement, and President Trump most certainly deserves credit for his role.”
“He has done this through diplomacy, pressure, and the sheer force of his personality and persistence. He dispatched diplomats again and again, made threats in the last few days to Hamas, saying if they did not sign the deal, all hell would break loose. And they had the bombing of Iran as an example of that. But perhaps most importantly, he pushed [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu in ways his predecessor and others have not,” she added.
Raddatz went on, citing Trump’s close, frank ties with Netanyahu as helping bring Israel along, concluding “if those hostages are freed, which would leave Hamas without their major bargaining tool, this is a huge moment for Donald Trump.”

If all goes as planned, if the deal goes through and the hostages are released, expect other media organizations to fall in line with what Raddatz has said here. Again, this is one of those developments that’s so huge, they will have no choice but to admit the gravity of it.
