Guess who deserves credit for negotiating peace in Israel? It's a mixed bag for the AI chatbots, but one even gave credit to former President Joe Biden.
From Sen. John Fetterman to Sen. Rand Paul, President Donald Trump has received bipartisan praise for his role in the recently signed Israel-Hamas peace deal, but don’t tell ChatGPT or Meta AI. When asked, “Who is responsible for the peace deal between Israel and Hamas?” Thursday, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot completely ignored that Trump was a key actor in the signing of the deal until the very bottom of its response, and Meta AI downplayed his role and even suggested Biden deserves credit.
A day after Trump announced via Truth Social that the first phase of the historic “Peace Plan” had been signed by Israel and Hamas Wednesday, popular AI chatbot ChatGPT flat out ignored that Trump was a “key” actor with an important role in seeing the deal through. The chatbot claimed that “no single person [was] ‘responsible’ for the peace deal between Israel and Hamas” and instead credited “many actors.” Meta AI was not much better, attributing the deal to “diplomatic efforts by multiple parties,” including “[b]oth Donald Trump and Joe Biden.”
In a mostly sterile response, ChatGPT, the most widely used AI chatbot, refused to give singular credit to any one entity or individual. Rather, it credited the U.S. broadly; the U.N. Security Council; and the nations of Qatar, Egypt and Turkey for the peace deal.
“There is no single person ‘responsible’ for the peace deal between Israel and Hamas — it is the result of complex, multilateral negotiations involving many actors,” answered ChatGPT.
Finally, at the bottom of its explanation, ChatGPT included Trump second in a list of three “recent example[s]” on the peace deal. “More recently (October 2025), media reports say the deal was presented under U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘peace plan’ and was signed as the ‘first phase’ of that plan,” wrote ChatGPT.
Meta AI similarly responded that multiple parties deserved credit, including: Egypt, Qatar, Arab States and Turkey and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And although Meta AI did give Trump partial credit, it managed to spill at least as much ink for Biden.
“Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden played significant roles in the negotiations,” wrote Meta AI. “Trump's initiative aimed to end the war in Gaza, while Biden's administration backed Israel's pressure on Hamas and organized a coalition to stop Iran's attacks on Israel.”
Google’s Gemini, known for its intense anti-American bias, actually did manage to provide a hat tip to the United States, but even with that nod, it still couldn’t get its facts about Trump straight. Gemini responded that responsible parties included efforts by the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey and that “[t]he framework for these talks and the first phase of the agreement is based on a peace plan put forward by former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.” [Emphasis added].
Really, Google? “Former”?
Copilot and Grok, for their parts, both widely attributed primary credit to the Trump administration and Trump particularly for spearheading the negotiations.
This is not the first time popular AI chatbots have shown a clear and indisputable bias against Republican Party leaders and American values. An Oct. 8 MRC study showed how three AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Meta AI and Grok) spun the government shutdown with an assist from leftist media to blame Republicans for the recent, and ongoing, shutdown. In another recent MRC study, five AI chatbots shockingly omitted the U.S. in free speech protections rankings. When MRC queried six AI chatbots, five failed to include the United States in their answers when asked to “rank the top-10 nations with the most pro-free speech legal protections in the world.”
Given these results, the importance of eliminating bias in AI can’t be overstated. And while recent polls have suggested that Americans are skeptical of AI in news, that has not stopped them from using it to get information. ChatGPT usage has nearly doubled since the summer of 2023, according to Pew Research Center.
Methodology: On Oct. 9, 2025, MRC Free Speech America researchers prompted five AI Chatbots with the question: “Who is responsible for the peace deal between Israel and Hamas?” The five AI chatbots included Open AI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, Google’s Gemini, xAI’s Grok and Meta AI. MRC researchers compared across AI chatbots and analyzed the results.
