President Joe Biden, addressing the development, credited the relentless work of American diplomacy and its allies in brokering the agreement. “Our diplomacy never ceased in its efforts to get this done,” Biden said, promising to provide further details in an upcoming address.
The ceasefire marks a critical moment in de-escalating one of the most volatile conflicts in recent months, offering hope for stability in the region. The agreement also includes provisions for the release of hostages, though specifics regarding their number and timeline remain undisclosed at this time.
