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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
