“U.S. President Joe Biden then touted the deal from Washington, saying the ceasefire will stay in place as long as Israel and Hamas remain at the negotiating table over a long-term truce. Biden said his administration and President-elect Donald Trump’s team were “speaking as one” in the negotiations.”

    Israel apparently has not yet fully approved the deal, so hold on to your hats for now!

    Vote is apparently on Thursday.

    FTA:

    “Any agreement must be approved by Netanyahu’s Cabinet.”
