Biden spoke about his hopes for a ceasefire in Gaza after he announced the deal achieved between Israel and Lebanon yesterday.

The president’s appeal comes as a cease-fire in Gaza has proved far more elusive than a deal between Israel and its northern adversary.

The Biden administration kept incoming President-elect Donald Trump’s administration closely apprised of its efforts to broker the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah that is slated to go into effect early Wednesday.
