In Washington DC, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller commended President-elect Donald Trump's team for their crucial role in brokering a ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas. Miller emphasized the importance of bipartisan cooperation in achieving this deal, as the current administration's term is nearing its end.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre highlighted President Biden's directive for his team to collaborate with the incoming administration to ensure a unified approach to the ceasefire. The agreement, reached after 15 months of conflict, aims to halt fighting in Gaza, provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians, and reunite hostages with their families.
President Biden acknowledged the efforts of American diplomats, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Vice President Kamala Harris, in negotiating the deal. He noted that while the agreement was developed under his administration, its implementation will largely be handled by the next administration.
Qatar, Egypt, and the United States confirmed the ceasefire and hostage release deal, set to take effect on January 19.
