administration had been pushing

Biden, clearly shocked, paused before replying: “Is that a joke?” But it wasn’t a joke. The only thing that had changed about the ceasefire deal that his administration had been pushing for since May last year was that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had finally agreed to it. And the only thing that had changed for Netanyahu was that the man he sees as his friend and most important ally was about to return to office. For Netanyahu, this seemed the right moment to present Trump with a gift vindication of the new president’s boast that he would end the war as soon as he took office. Trump even dispatched Steve Witkoff, his newly appointed envoy to the Middle East, to join Biden’s man, Brett McGurk, for the last 96 hours of talks in Doha, to ensure that the incoming US administration had its mark on the deal. สล็อต
