US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has stated that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is a 'distinct possibility' as President Joe Biden's term comes to an end. Sullivan highlighted the mounting pressure on Hamas to agree to a ceasefire and expressed optimism that a breakthrough could be achieved. The Biden administration has been working closely with President-elect Donald Trump's team to secure a deal. However, Sullivan also cautioned that previous negotiations have come close to success but ultimately failed. The conflict, which began in October 2023, has drawn international attention and urgency to resolve the violence.
