US President Joe Biden says that a Gaza ceasefire remains a possibility, despite Israel and Hamas trading blame as top diplomat Antony Blinken landed in Tel Aviv to push a deal.
Biden tells reporters after spending the weekend at his Camp David retreat that talks are still underway and that “we’re not giving up,” adding that an accord is “still possible.”
