WASHINGTON — Democrats largely kept quiet about President Trump’s role in brokering a delicate peace agreement between Israel and Hamas as he attended the historic “Summit for Peace” in Egypt.
On Capitol Hill, while some cheered the Gaza agreement and Hamas’ release of the last of the 20 living Israeli hostages held in captivity, almost none of them seemed to acknowledge Trump’s role in the feat — and influential left-wing voices issued no statements at all.
Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — who have both described Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza as a “genocide” — were among those who did not weigh in. 4
