| Gaza Ceasefire: The Real Winner-Biden or Trump? | | |
Asad Mirza
The Gaza ceasefire deal came as a win for Donald Trump, even before he started his next stint as the 47th American President. Though, both the outgoing and the incoming presidents - Biden and Trump claimed it as their victory, yet in real terms the deal fructified due to Trump’s adamant and no-nonsense attitude in dealing with Netanyahu.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s office was the last to confirm on early Friday morning (17 January 2025) that a deal has been agreed upon with Hamas.
