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.”
