After clinching Lebanon calm, Biden says Gaza truce efforts will ramp back up

US President Joe Biden says the US and other mediators will jumpstart efforts to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza that removes the Hamas terror group from power while freeing hostages held captive in the Strip for over a year.

“Over the coming days, the United States will make another push with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and others to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza with the hostages released and an end to the war without Hamas in power,” Biden says in a tweet from his official X account.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan tells MSNBC that Biden will begin work on a possible ceasefire today.
