Joe Biden has announced a ceasefire deal between Hamas and the Israeli government. It is due to begin on 19 January – the day before the US president leaves office – and will include the release of hostages detained by Hamas and Israel. When a journalist asked Joe Biden: 'Who do you think deserves credit for this, you or Trump?', he responded: 'Is that a joke?'.
The US government previously revealed the deal was developed and negotiated by Biden's team and would largely be implemented by the incoming administration. The war in Gaza has left at least 46,000 Palestinians and 1,700 Israelis dead
