Ceasefire: Who Gets Credit or Who Gets to Live?

January 16, 2025

Ceasefires are moments when humanity should take a collective breath. Yet here we are, once again, arguing over who deserves the credit. Was it Biden? Was it Trump? Maybe it was neither—or maybe it was both. Does it matter? Does assigning credit bring back lives lost or ease the pain of those who’ve endured unimaginable suffering?

The truth is, the moment we politicize something as sacred as a ceasefire, we lose sight of the humanity at its core. The point isn’t who negotiated it. The point is that for a fleeting moment, guns are silent, bombs are still, and people are alive.

Why is that not enough? Why do we let power, politics, and egos steal the narrative every time? Wake up. It’s not about them. It’s about the people who get to live another day. That’s what matters. Enough with the credit games. Enough with the noise.

Focus on the ceasefire itself—because lives, not legacies, hang in the balance.
