Gaza Cease-Fire Deal Is ‘In the Hands of Hamas,’ Biden Says

President Biden said the Israelis had been cooperating in negotiations over a possible six-week cease-fire in Gaza, being mediated by Qatar and Egypt, and that “a rational offer” was made.

It’s in the hands of Hamas right now. The Israelis have been cooperating. There’s an offer out there that’s rational. We don’t know what — we’ll know a couple of days if it’s going to happen, but we need the cease-fire. There’s got to be a cease-fire because Ramadan, if we get into a circumstance where this continues through Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem, it could be very, very dangerous. So we’re looking — we’re trying hard for that cease-fire.
