2 hours ago
President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal in Gaza after the White House brought Trump’s Middle East envoy into negotiations that have dragged on for months. Trump wasted no time in claiming to be the moving force behind the deal, saying it “could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the final details were still being ironed out. Biden stressed in a statement that a deal was reached under “the precise contours” of a plan that he set out in late in May.
