Tech billionaire Elon Musk has publicly praised former President Donald Trump for securing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, highlighting what he described as Trump's success in resolving several serious global conflicts.
"Credit where credit is due. @realDonaldTrump has successfully resolved several serious conflicts around the world," Musk wrote on his social media platform X.
The statement follows Trump's announcement that Israel has agreed to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. According to Trump, all parties involved will work toward ending the war in the Middle East.
"My Representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza," Trump stated, confirming the breakthrough in negotiations.
A Surprising Turn in Musk-Trump Relations
This public endorsement marks a significant shift in the relationship between the two high-profile figures. BenriNews reports that Musk had previously criticized Trump's policy bill, which led to a public and contentious dispute with the US President earlier this month.
The conflict between the two escalated to the point where Trump reportedly threatened to consider deporting Musk from the United States. Trump also suggested that without government subsidies, Musk would "return to South Africa."
In response, Musk had threatened to form a new political party and continued his criticism of Trump's policies.
Implications for Middle East Peace
The 60-day ceasefire agreement represents a potential turning point in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. If successful, this diplomatic achievement could pave the way for more comprehensive peace negotiations in the region.
The agreement comes amid other significant policy developments in the United States, including the US Senate's recent passage of Trump's controversial bill after what was described as a "marathon vote-a-rama."
