Bill Maher Praises Trump's Gaza Peace Deal Amid Unlikely Surprise.
In an unusual display of admiration, late-night host Bill Maher credited President Donald Trump with brokering a peace deal in the Gaza Strip that many had deemed impossible. Speaking to his HBO audience on Real Time, Maher acknowledged that Trump accomplished something that others thought would be out of reach.
Trump's deal brought about an end to years-long conflict in Gaza and was facilitated by mediators who are now expected to begin working on phases of a 20-point peace plan. This breakthrough came after two years of negotiations, and the president has been praised for his ability to achieve this goal.
Maher's praise was somewhat unexpected given that he frequently criticizes Trump. However, in this instance, Maher chose to give credit where credit is due, calling out others who had tried but failed to pull off a similar deal. When asked about Trump's success with the peace plan, Maher stated that "a lot of people tried to pull this off, and he did," showing some begrudging respect for the president.
Maher's quip about Trump's ability to send people back home also referenced his latest push to deport illegal immigrants convicted of crimes.
