It’s one other Biden backfire — and on the world stage.
With President Donald Trump driving excessive on a deal that has introduced the primary phases of peace within the Israel warfare towards Hamas, the person who preceded him within the White Home lastly weighed in.
And like nearly every little thing else involving Joe Biden, it turned out badly.
At first blush, Biden’s assertion is unobjectionable:
I’m deeply grateful and relieved that today has come – for the final residing 20 hostages who’ve been via unimaginable hell and are lastly reunited with their households and family members, and for the civilians in Gaza who’ve skilled immeasurable loss and can lastly…
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 13, 2025
“I’m deeply grateful and relieved that today has come,” Biden wrote, in a primary paragraph that spoke of the Israeli hostages launched and Palestinian civilians who suffered due to the savagery of Hamas.
Then got here the second paragraph, by which Biden truly had the category to congratulate Trump on the worldwide deal coming collectively. However he couldn’t do it with out an try to put his personal slant on historical past — an try that solely ended up emphasizing his personal ineptitude.
“My Administration labored relentlessly to carry hostages residence, get reduction to Palestinian civilians, and finish the warfare,” Biden wrote.
That’s solely true if by “labored relentlessly to carry hostages residence,” Biden meant he put infinite strain on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pull his punches towards Hamas terrorists who had dedicated the Oct. 7, 2023, attack — the worst slaughter of Jews for the reason that Holocaust.
It’s solely true if by getting “reduction to Palestinian civilians,” Biden meant participating in infinite efficiency politics meant to appease the American Democratic Occasion’s leftiest fringe — together with the development, at considerable cost to the American taxpayer, of a pier to funnel provides to Gaza that was doomed from the beginning and ended in debacle.
However in the actual world of precise reality, it isn’t true in any respect.
For audiences each within the U.S. and overseas, it was clear that Biden’s response to the Israel-Hamas warfare was pushed by home political concerns — Muslim votes in Michigan mattered greater than Jewish lives within the Center East.
It was Trump’s dedication to disregard the lefties of the Democratic Occasion, their fifth columnists within the institution media, and the worldwide appeasers of European politics that lastly introduced concerning the return of the Hamas hostages and a fragile peace.
That was dedication Biden couldn’t muster, as a result of it was dedication Democrats couldn’t have and nonetheless hope to win votes in Dearborn.
If Biden — or whoever truly writes his social media posts — was actually attempting to commend Trump, it got here off churlishly.
If the submit was an try to share a few of the credit score for the Biden administration’s work — if solely a gold star for effort — it got here off even worse.
All he ended up doing was drawing consideration to his personal failures.
