Asked by reporters what he’s thankful for this year on Thanksgiving, US President Joe Biden highlights the recent ceasefire Washington brokered earlier this week between Israel and Hezbollah.
“[I’m thankful for] my family, the peaceful transition of the presidency, and I’m thankful by the grace of God we were able to make more progress in the Middle East,” he says after distributing pies with the first lady to firefighters in Nantucket.
“I’m really thankful for being able to get the first peace done in Lebanon,” he adds.
