Fleitz, Shaffer to Newsmax: Biden’s Cease-Fire Deal Mostly ‘Fantasy’

Former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz told Newsmax on Tuesday that most of what President Joe Biden talked about in regards to the newly-negotiated cease-fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah is “fantasy.”

“Joe Biden wanted to take a victory lap at the end of his failed presidency and he did twist [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s arm to get this cease-fire agreement — which is a 60-day agreement, and he only got it by threatening to go to the U.N. Security Council against Israel — but most of what he said … frankly, is fantasy,” Fleitz told “American Agenda.”

“There’s not going to be a Palestinian state before Biden leaves office, there’s not going to be a deal with the Saudis, and, unfortunately, there’s not going to be a deal with Hamas,” he said. “Relations with Hamas are actually getting worse; they’re less willing to negotiate. This is what presidents do on their way out. Biden knows that he was humiliated in the 2024 election so I think this is an opportunity to stand in front of flags and brag about what a great president he is, but I don’t think the American people are going to buy it.”
