In his final foreign policy speech, US President Joe Biden announced progress toward a Gaza ceasefire, including a hostage release and increased aid for Palestinians. "So many innocent people have been killed. Palestinian people deserve peace," Biden emphasized. While talks in Doha continue, up to 33 hostages could be freed. Biden also highlighted America's strengthened alliances and claimed adversaries like Iran were "weaker" after 2024 attacks. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump expressed optimism about the ceasefire deal, stating it must happen soon. Biden’s farewell speech is scheduled for Wednesday before leaving office.
