On his final day as president, Joe Biden expresses optimism about the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. He emphasizes the need for the deal to be fully implemented and looks forward to the end of the war. Biden also highlights the success of the US-backed Israeli military pressure on Hamas and Iran's proxies in reaching the deal. He asserts that the Middle East has been fundamentally transformed as a result of the conflict, with Hamas weakened and its sponsors decimated. Biden believes that the Palestinians now have a credible path to statehood and envisions a future where Israel is more integrated with its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia.
