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.

The ceasefire deal is the same one Biden put forward months ago. If he had pushed harder, thousands of lives could have been saved.

Biden conveyed his deep appreciation for first lady Jill Biden, who joined him in the Oval Office. “My deepest appreciation to our amazing first lady with me in the Oval today, for our entire family, you’re the love of my life and the lives of my love,” he said. “My eternal thanks to you, the American people.”

Biden confirmed the ceasefire agreement in a speech on Wednesday afternoon, noting that it was his administration who negotiated the deal but it will be Trump’s administration that ensures it is implemented. The agreement comes after a 15-month-war wreaked havoc across Israel and Gaza, resulting in thousands of deaths.

A Trump transition official argued these threats were more effective than recent efforts by the Biden administration.
