Cong. August Pfluger joined Mornings With Maria on the Fox Business network Thursday morning to discuss Phase 1 of President Trumps historic Gaza Peace deal in the Middle East.
Maria Bartiromo: “he U.S. Ambassador to Israel told me that there will be a military presence remaining in Gaza, but not the US military. I want to get your take on all of this. Your reaction?”
Rep. Pfluger: “Well, Maria, this is obviously historic. There’s only one leader in the world who could have orchestrated that deal. It’s Donald Trump. He brings together world leaders. He puts this negotiation into place. It’s very similar to what he did with the Abraham Accords.
“This is a very important phase of the deal right now. It’s a trust but verify phase. The hostages do need to be released. We do need to see trust built up, and specifically by Hamas. I mean, with those hostages dead or alive, they need to be released back into Israel, and Israel needs to see that they are going to start by honoring their word. But let me just make this point right now.
“While Democrats are in full meltdown mode, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is still busy working on behalf of the American people. He’s still busy orchestrating a peace deal that no other leader could have orchestrated. This is absolutely incredible. We’ve been waiting for this moment. Israel benefits, the entire region benefits, and the security of the United States benefits. It wouldn’t have been possible without Donald Trump’s actions inside Iran that set the conditions to allow this to happen.”
