Biden: The current ceasefire in Gaza will be permanent

According to Isna, US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday evening in his first speech after the official announcement of the cease-fire agreement in Gaza and the exchange of Zionist prisoners with Hamas: “We are determined to return all prisoners.”

Pointing out that the first phase of the ceasefire agreement will last 6 weeks (42 days), he added: “We will increase the amount of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.”

The American president, who has only five days left in his presidency, stated that all American prisoners will be released in the first phase of the agreement: “Now, Gaza can really be rebuilt and restored.”

He added: “The cease-fire agreement in Gaza will become a permanent cease-fire, and it is the same proposal I made in May.”

Biden added: “To reach the current agreement, my team and Trump worked as a single team. “This agreement will be created by my administration and implemented in the Trump administration.”

He clarified: “Palestinians can return to all areas of Gaza.”

According to Biden, the Zionist regime will negotiate the next phase of the agreement in the first period of the current agreement (i.e. 6 weeks).

He also said: “As long as the negotiations continue, the ceasefire will continue.” That means, if the negotiations are prolonged beyond 6 weeks, the truce will still stand.”

The American president also added: “In the second phase of the agreement, all prisoners will be released.”

Biden clarified: “The road to this agreement was not easy. “Now there is a real opportunity for the people of Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinians to build a new future.”

Earlier, the Foreign Minister of Qatar officially announced the ceasefire between Hamas and the Zionist regime and said that the implementation of the agreement will begin on Sunday, January 19.

Despite Biden’s claim that his team cooperated with President-elect Donald Trump’s team to reach this agreement, according to “Ehud Barak”, the former prime minister of the Zionist regime, Trump’s pressure has led to the achievement of a ceasefire.

Barak said on Wednesday evening: “The current Israeli agreement was due to the pressure of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, and it did not arise from a moral and humanitarian commitment to the prisoners.”

According to him, this agreement should have been reached seven months ago.

In his first official reaction to the cease-fire agreement in Gaza, the president-elect of the United States wrote on the “Truth Social” social network: “This epic cease-fire agreement was only possible as a result of our historic victory in November; Because this victory showed the world that my government is looking for peace and negotiations to ensure the security of all Americans and our allies. “I am happy that the American and Israeli hostages are returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.”

“With this agreement, my national security team, through the efforts of Special Representative for the Middle East Steve Wittkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our allies to ensure that Gaza never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists,” Trump said. gave We will continue to promote peace through strength throughout the region and use the rhythm of this ceasefire to expand the historic Abraham Treaty. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America and indeed the world!”

In the end, he stated: “We have achieved such great achievements even without being in the White House. “Just imagine all the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House and confirm my administration.”
