The ceasefire and hostage release deal announced Wednesday between Israel and Hamas marks a major political and personal victory for President Joe Biden in his final days in office.
"I laid out the precise contours of this plan on May 31, 2024, after which it was endorsed unanimously by the UN Security Council," Biden wrote in a statement. "It is the result not only of the extreme pressure that Hamas has been under and the changed regional equation after a ceasefire in Lebanon and weakening of Iran -- but also of dogged and painstaking American diplomacy."
"My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done," Biden added pointedly about the deal he had worked on for more than a year.

Hamas is scared of Trump.
The difference is someone had to tell joe to say that.
Biden wants so hard to change his legacy from worst president.
Do you think it was an accident that he is giving his farewell address today on cease fire day?
Sorry Joe, nothing will change your legacy, people aren’t that stupid.
It’s a terrible deal. I’m not sure why either would want to be associated with it.
Now pretend that the media isn’t going to give the credit to The Nibbler anyway. Let Joe own it. We know the impetus behind things. When it falls apart because the savages make it so, he will also own that.
Do you really think Hamas gives a rat’s behind what Joe Biden wants?
And don’t forget, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize just for existing.
Trump won’t get squat.
ABC is not getting over the election loss
Biden trying to take credit for the hostage release
Even Jinnah didn’t try to take credit in 1980 when Reagan did this on day 1
It’s a terrible deal. I’m not sure why either would want to be associated with it.
So, A couple dozen hostages are to be released, including DEAD ONES! I say pick a number equal to the dead ones, and make sure there are that many dead Palestinian prisoners released.
I’m watching KJP on tv, flaunting the great Joe Biden and his great hostage agreement. She’s got so much copper make up on, she looks like a metallic robot.
ANYONE who believes the Mental Midget Biden had ANYTHING to do with it, is stupider than he is!
Trump gets credit for the urgency. However, he doesn’t want to be attached to this abomination of a deal.
Had to love the Asian reporter who tried to give KJP credit for the ceasefire deal.
Good deal or bad deal, I don’t know.
What I do understand is that at some point combatant may want to end the fighting they just need a reason. President Trump gives them a reason to make a deal and end this phase of the conflict.
This is also true for Russia and Ukraine. They are both doing more damage to their citizens and nation then the enemy is doing. Time to compromise and make a deal to end the conflict. Will it happen? I don’t know since I don’t know why Russia decided to take by force something they could have negotiated for.
And suddenly...they're released...five days before he takes office!
