Ten months have passed since the Israeli invasion of the Palestinian-besieged Gaza. Despite repeated calls for a cease-fire around the world, nothing is happening. The US administration has been supporting Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in the Gaza war on the theory that Israelis have a right to self-defense.

Meanwhile, in a new comment on the ceasefire, US President Joe Biden said that a ceasefire in Gaza is possible before the end of his current term. The Dawn reported this information in a report on Sunday with reference to Anadolu Agency.
In a televised interview, Biden said a ceasefire in Gaza is “possible” before the end of his presidency.

The next US presidential election will be held in November. Biden is getting another 5 months as the current president, including the process of handing over power to the new government. He believes that it is possible to reach a final decision in the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza in these 5 months.

Yes. It (ceasefire) is still possible. I am working with the whole team literally every day. So that it doesn’t turn into a regional war’.

Biden withdrew from his decision to run in the upcoming election late last month. He supported Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidential election.

In addition to killing 1,200 Israelis in a sudden attack on October 7, Hamas captured about 250 Israelis and foreign citizens in Gaza. Since then, Israel’s counterattack has killed about 39,790 Palestinians in Gaza. In addition, the number of injured in the last 10 months is more than 92,500.
