Biden Optimistic for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire by Monday

US President Joe Biden expressed optimism on Sunday that a ceasefire could be reached in the ongoing talks between Israel and Hamas by Monday. Biden emphasized the importance of ending the violence and restoring peace in the region.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated in recent weeks, with both sides launching attacks that have resulted in civilian casualties and widespread destruction. The international community has called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of life.

Biden’s statement comes after several days of intense negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian officials, mediated by the United States and other international partners. The US President has been actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation and bring both parties to the negotiating table.

While progress has been made in the talks, the situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to exchange fire. Biden’s hope for a ceasefire by Monday signals a strong commitment to achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
