Biden: Hostage deal ‘still possible… I’m working every day’ to prevent regional war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Joe Biden asserts that a ceasefire-hostage deal between Israel and Hamas is “still possible,” in an interview with CBS.
“The plan I put together, endorsed by the G7, endorsed by the UN Security Council, et cetera, is still viable. And I’m working literally every single day – and my whole team – to see to it that it doesn’t escalate into a regional war. But it easily can.”
Biden in May laid out an Israeli-proposed hostage deal outline, but it has yet to produce a final agreement. Mediated talks on an agreement are set to resume on Thursday in Cairo.
