During a press conference at the G7 summit in Italy, President Joe Biden addressed the ongoing efforts to secure a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Biden highlighted that the success of the potential agreement is being hindered by Hamas' reluctance to sign onto the deal.
Biden emphasized that the proposed approach has garnered support from key international bodies such as the UN Security Council and the G7, as well as from the Israeli government. Despite Hamas submitting a similar proposal, their refusal to formally sign on has become a major obstacle in finalizing the agreement.
While expressing optimism about the prospects of the ceasefire deal, Biden acknowledged that the ultimate outcome remains uncertain. He reiterated the commitment to continue pushing for a resolution to the conflict and urged all parties involved to work towards a peaceful resolution.
The President's remarks underscore the complex dynamics at play in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to bridge the remaining gaps and secure a lasting ceasefire. The international community, including the United States, continues to play a pivotal role in facilitating dialogue and promoting stability in the region.
