Biden Snaps at Reporter If Trump Deserves Credit For Hostage Release, His State Dept Spox Says This

On 1/15/2025, Joe Biden snapped at a reporter asking if Trump deserves credit for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release. President Trump announced on Wednesday that a deal was reached for the release of Jewish hostages in the Middle East. The hostages will be released shortly. “WE HAVE A DEAL FOR THE HOSTAGES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY. THANK YOU!” Trump wrote.

A reporter asked Biden: “Who deserves credit for this? You or Trump?”

A peeved Joe Biden turned around and replied: “Is that a joke? Oh.”

Reporter: Who deserves credit for this deal Mr. President, you or Trump?

Biden: Is that a joke?

Biden tries to take credit on a “framework” he introduced LAST SUMMER and couldn’t get done until President Trump and his Special Envoy intervened. This is a reflection of his commitment to securing our interests, protecting our allies, and ensuring American STRENGTH prevails.

A few minutes later Joe Biden’s State Department spox Matthew Miller admitted President Trump’s team has been critical to getting the hostage release deal done.

“When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump’s team, it’s been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line,” State Department spox Matthew Miller said.

Biden’s State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller: “When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump’s team, it’s been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line.”

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• Well, you know, this is the exact framework of the deal I proposed back in May
• Secondly, it’s America’s support for Israel that helped them badly weaken Amos and his backers and create the conditions for this deal
• And thirdly, I knew this deal would have to be implemented by the next team
• So I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team to make sure we’re all speaking with the same voice
• Because that’s what American presidents do
• When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump’s team, it has been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line
• And it’s been critical because, obviously, as I stand here today, this administration’s term and office will expire in five days
• And one of the things that we have always said about this deal is that when you get from stage one to stage two, that the United States, Egypt, and Qatar are the guarantors of this deal
• And Egypt and Qatar will push Hamas to stay at the bargaining table and to get from stage one to stage two
• And the United States will push Israel to stay at the bargaining table to get from phase one and phase two
