President Biden, in a speech on Sunday, highlighted the long-anticipated ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas as it was officially put into effect. He expressed his relief and satisfaction, stating that the agreement had "finally come to fruition" after a lengthy and challenging process.
"Today's ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages is a result of a principled and effective policy that we presided over for months," said Biden. "And we got here without a wider war in the Middle East that many predicted. And now it falls to the next administration to help implement this deal."
