WASHINGTON, Aug 12 – US President Joe Biden said a ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip would be “possible” before the end of his presidency.
“Yes. It’s still possible,” Biden said in comments broadcast Sunday, when asked if he believes a ceasefire could be secured with five months left to his term, Anadolu Agency reported.
Biden sat on Wednesday for his first interview with CBS since announcing his decision to pull out of the presidential race late last month against Republican candidate and former US President Donald Trump over concerns about the future of US democracy.
“The plan I put together, endorsed by the G7, endorsed by the UN Security Council, etc., is still viable.
“And I’m working literally every single day — and my whole team — to see to it that it doesn’t escalate into a regional war. But it easily can,” Biden said in the interview.
