Biden ‘hoping’ for Israel-Hamas deal on truce, hostage release by Ramadan
US President Joe Biden says he hoped there would be a deal between Israel and terror group Hamas on a temporary truce and the release of hostages by the time of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which starts on March 10.
“I’m hoping so, we’re still working real hard on it. We’re not there yet,” he tells reporters, as he left the White House.
