Biden: I’m the guy who put together a Mideast peace plan that may come to fruition
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
Asked during the ABC interview if he’s “the same man today that you were when you took office three and a half years ago,” Biden says: “In terms of successes yes.”
“I was also the guy who put together a peace plan for the Middle East that may be coming to fruition,” he says, apparently referring to efforts to broker Israeli-Saudi normalization and, possibly, work to reach a ceasefire in the ongoing Gaza war.
“I was also the guy that expanded NATO. I was also the guy that grew the economy. All the individual things that were done were ideas I had or I fulfilled, I moved on.”
