New polling - Kamala Harris' refusal to break with the Biden administration's position on Israel's relentless assault on Gaza had an impact.

A poll released Tuesday by the Institute for Middle East Understanding conducted by YouGov ranked the war in Gaza as a top issue for Democratic-leaning voters who stayed home in 2024 rather than voting in some of the key swing states that were won back by Donald Trump after he lost them four years prior.

This 42-day ceasefire aims to halt the 15-month conflict and facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas.

The deal is set to pause fighting in Gaza for six weeks as well as lead to the release of 33 hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

US President Joe Biden has confirmed a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has been reached. "This deal will halt the fighting in Gaza, surge much needed-humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, and reunite the hostages with their families after more than 15 months in captivity," he said in a statement.

Under the terms of the deal, Hamas will release 33 hostages over a period of 42 days, including women, children, the sick, and men over the age of 55. Three of these hostages will be released the first day, another four on the second day, then three at a time in each week, with the final 14 released on the final week.

In another gaffe, Joe Biden mistakenly refers to Hamas as Hezbollah while announcing Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar.

President Joe Biden touted a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, a goal his administration has been working toward for more than a year now.

A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and end Gaza fighting is being claimed as a win by Trump and Biden.

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.

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal in Gaza after the White House brought Trump’s Middle East envoy into negotiations that have dragged on for months.
