President Joe Biden expressed satisfaction on Sunday over the unified efforts of his administration and President-elect Donald Trump's transition team in securing a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Biden emphasized the importance of the joint approach in the final days, describing it as necessary, effective, and unprecedented.
During his remarks in Charleston, South Carolina, Biden highlighted that while the ceasefire was a significant achievement, sustaining success would require ongoing commitment and support for allies in the region. He underscored the essential role of diplomacy reinforced by deterrence in maintaining peace.
Biden acknowledged that the responsibility of implementing the ceasefire deal now rests with the incoming administration. As Sunday marked the final full day of the Biden administration, the transition of power to Trump, who is scheduled to be inaugurated on Monday, was imminent.
