GOP Lawmakers Credit Trump for Hamas Ceasefire Deal, Despite Last-Minute Delays | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Lawmakers are speaking out about the breakdown and delay in the tentative deal. Lawmakers had a range of feelings, happy that a deal may be close to being finalized, but frustrated with the new round of delays that's holding up the release of some of the hostages, including several Americans. Republicans were quick to point out, Hamas wouldn't have come to the table if it were not for President-elect Donald Trump. Senator Steve Daines says, "Remember, Trump is the one who greenlighted the death of Soleimani, a horrible Iranian terrorist. And when President Trump says there will be all hell to pay if those hostages aren't released, they take him seriously, as they should." Representative Anna Paulina Luna says, "The biggest thing I can tell the American people is peace through strength has always been the message with this incoming administration and you're seeing that play out on the international stage so we are happy about it." The fate of the hostages remains a top concern. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
