Middle East, Biden: "Plan is in effect, weapons in Gaza are silent"

Washington (USA), January 19 (LaPresse) – The plan for Gaza presented in May is "finally" in effect, and the weapons "are silent," said President Joe Biden, recalling the various stages of the plan. The outcome, the president said while speaking in Charleston, South Carolina, was made possible "by Israel's pressure on Hamas with the support of the United States." It was, Biden stated, "one of the toughest negotiations I have ever participated in." Now, he added, "it is up to the next administration to implement the plan."
