In another gaffe, Joe Biden mistakenly refers to Hamas as Hezbollah while announcing Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar.

Qatar's ruler met on Monday with the Middle East envoys for the incoming and outgoing US administrations, his office said in a statement.

A ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas, involving a halt of the fighting and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Following the announcement, both US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump claimed credit for the Gaza ceasefire.

In these final actions of his presidency, Biden is asserting his domestic and foreign-policy principles before Trump takes charge.

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.

Israel and Hamas reportedly agreed to a ceasefire following Qatari-brokered negotiations, though no official confirmation has come from either party. Both President Biden and President-elect Trump claimed credit for the agreement.

The ceasefire deal marks a major win for President Joe Biden in his final days in office, but President-elect Donald Trump is also seeking credit.
