President Biden has expressed optimism about the possibility of a ceasefire deal in the Middle East, stating that the agreement is closer than ever. The announcement came following the signing of a proclamation establishing a national monument in memory of the Springfield 1908 Race Riot.
During the event, President Biden arrived late and explained to guests and reporters in the Oval Office that his delay was due to his involvement in the ceasefire efforts in the Middle East. He emphasized that progress has been made, stating, 'We are closer than we've ever been.' However, he also cautioned against premature celebrations, noting that they are not yet at the final stage but significantly closer than three days prior.
