The inhabitants of Gaza “also deserve an end to the conflict and displacement. They have gone through hell,” said the 82-year-old Democrat.

All of these projects will require Israel to make “bold” decisions to transform its strategic advances against Iran and its allies into a coherent strategy for long-term security, Joe Biden said.
Donald Trump did not react directly to the truce agreement in Lebanon, but his side attributed this announcement to the Republican’s imminent arrival at the White House after his presidential victory on November 5.
