The Biden administration sees the recent deal between Israel and Hezbollah as a potential game-changer in the efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza. A senior administration official expressed optimism about the impact of Hezbollah's decision to disassociate from the conflict, noting that it could lead to a shift in dynamics on the ground.
President Joe Biden has indicated that the US will intensify its efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement in Gaza following the Israel-Hezbollah truce announcement. The administration believes that this development could create an opportunity for progress in negotiations.
Furthermore, there is speculation about a potential normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel if there are positive developments in Gaza. The administration views this as a window of opportunity for diplomatic breakthroughs in the region.
