US President Joe Biden has expressed concern over the recent assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and its impact on the prospects of a ceasefire deal in Gaza. Biden, speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews, highlighted the need for immediate action to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East.
Biden's remarks came after Iran vowed retaliation for Haniyeh's killing in Tehran, further complicating the already fragile negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza. The US President emphasized the importance of finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict and called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to act swiftly.
