US President Joe Biden will launch a renewed drive for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal following the truce between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The truce puts pressure on Hamas to agree to a deal. Biden spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the truce was announced and they agreed to try again for a Gaza agreement. Biden intends to engage with Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, and other regional actors to work towards a more stable Middle East. The Israel-Hezbollah deal was a rare boost for Biden as he prepares to leave the White House.
