US President Joe Biden has confirmed a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has been reached. "This deal will halt the fighting in Gaza, surge much needed-humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, and reunite the hostages with their families after more than 15 months in captivity," he said in a statement.

In another gaffe, Joe Biden mistakenly refers to Hamas as Hezbollah while announcing Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar.

President Joe Biden touted a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, a goal his administration has been working toward for more than a year now.

Arab nations that are signatories of the Abraham Accords include Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan.

A new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas appears to be stabilizing. Despite earlier reports that the deal was in danger, Israel’s leadership has now backed the deal. The ceasefire agreement comes after 15 months of deadly bombings as Israel systematically cleared out Hamas positions and killed its militants and leadership.
