Biden: Israel-Hamas ceasefire possible by end of weekend

The comments came when Mr Biden made an impromptu stop at an ice cream parlour in New York after he had wrapped up an interview with chat show host Seth Meyers.

Asked by a reporter when he expected a ceasefire to begin, the 81-year-old, with an ice cream cone in hand, said he hoped it could start within days.

“Well I hope by the beginning of the weekend, I mean the end of the weekend,” he said. “My national security adviser tells me that we’re close. We’re close. We’re not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we’ll have a ceasefire.”

The barbarism of the Iranian regime is plain — the West must not look away

After relatively little in the news about the massacre of civilians inside Iran this month, the world is finally beginning to catch up on the horrors unfolding. Protests against the economic situation quickly turned to calls to bring down the government and grew to 186 towns and cities across Iran. In a television address on January 9, an order came from the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to security forces to suppress the protests “by any means necessary... shoot to kill and show no mercy”.
