Well, it looks like Joe Biden is pulling off another miracle. First the vaccine distribution and now getting a cease fire in the Middle East. Good things come in threes so I can’t wait for the next one.
Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas agree to a ceasefire
Jerusalem (CNN) - Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire, after more than a week of conflict left hundreds dead, most of them Palestinians. The truce signals an end to the immediate bloodshed, but will likely leave both sides further apart than ever.
The truce follows a flurry of diplomatic attempts to push for a ceasefire. US President Joe Biden and his administration had dialed up messaging on Israel over the past few days, including in Biden's fourth call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
Biden also spoke with Egyptian President Fattah Al Sisi, while US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to his Israeli counterpart, Gabi Ashkenazi, and reiterated that the US expected to see a "de-escalation on the path to a ceasefire."
