US Intensifies Efforts for Gaza Ceasefire Amid Israel-Hezbollah Truce

President Joe Biden announced that the US will work with regional powers to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, aiming for the release of hostages and the removal of Hamas from power. This follows a recent ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. While Hamas has shown some willingness to negotiate, it remains firm on its conditions, including an Israeli withdrawal and a permanent ceasefire. The situation is complicated by Israeli political dynamics and the potential shift in US priorities with the incoming Trump administration.
