adminAmericans watched a stunning diplomatic victory unfold as President Trump’s team pushed Israel and Hamas into a phased ceasefire that includes the release of hostages and the beginning of humanitarian relief for Gaza. After months of stalemate and failure by the usual diplomatic class, this breakthrough shows what decisive American leadership looks like — not speeches, but results on the ground.
Former Senator Norm Coleman, appearing on conservative outlets to discuss the deal, rightly underscored that this was President Trump’s achievement and that Republicans who stand for strength and for Israel should make no apologies for giving credit where it’s due. Coleman’s steady, pro-Israel voice on Newsmax and in Republican circles reminded Americans that saving lives and bringing hostages home is not a partisan stunt — it’s a moral obligation fulfilled by bold action.
Meanwhile European politicians and international bureaucrats hurried to slap their names on the headline, hoping to bask in reflected glory while ignoring who actually forced the breakthrough to happen. World leaders and U.N. figures were quick to praise the agreement, but their self-congratulation can’t erase the reality that it was American muscle and American pressure that moved the parties when others could not.
Make no mistake: the deal moved because Trump’s envoys made the hard calls and because his administration changed the calculus on the ground, not because of kumbaya diplomacy from distant capitals. The handwringing of the Washington establishment and the usual international suspects about who gets credit rings hollow when compared to the tangible outcome — hostages freed and a chance for an end to the slaughter.
Patriots should also note that the president’s work is being recognized around the world, with allied leaders and even skeptics acknowledging that Trump’s pressure played a decisive role — and the president plans to travel to the region to see the results firsthand. That kind of on-the-ground leadership, the kind that prioritizes American influence and the safety of our allies, deserves applause from every American who believes in strength over spectacle.
Now is the time for conservative Americans to stand tall and defend this victory against the predictable chorus of critics who would rather score partisan points than support peace and the return of innocents to their families. Call out the credit-grabbers, celebrate American success, and demand that our leaders keep doing what works: putting America first, standing with our allies, and using strength to make peace.
