I completely agree, that the negotiations and deal happened under the Biden administration’s leadership. Trump‘s understanding of the situation is limited, and he tries to exploit it according to his typical MO.
The question is why was this ceasefire deal reached, only days before Trump took office? I suspect it played a role. Trump‘s people had been in contact with the Israeli government before the transition of power. That said diplomatic processes are notoriously opaque.
