With the Israel-Hamas entering its sixth month, United States President Joe Biden has said that the hostage deal is in the "hands of Hamas right now" as there's been a "rational offer." "We'll know in a couple days" whether Hamas accepts the current plan for a hostage settlement, the US President said, according to The Times of Israel.

"There's got to be a ceasefire because [if] we get into a circumstance where this continues through Ramadan... Israel and Jerusalem... it could be very, very dangerous," he added. On being asked about his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as of late, Biden responded by saying that it is exactly "Like it's always been," The Times of Israel reported.
