Wall Street Journal: Washington does not expect an agreement between Israel and Hamas during Biden’s term

The American newspaper "Wall Street Journal" quoted, on Thursday, senior American officials in the White House, the State Department, and the Department of Defense (the Pentagon), saying that it is not currently expected to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas before the end of President Joe Biden's term in January 2025. Washington had previously said that 90% of the terms of the ceasefire agreement and the release of hostages had been reached, but there were still gaps related to the Israeli presence in the Philadelphi corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border, and the details of the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
