US President Joe Biden considered, on Friday, that there are “real opportunities” to extend the truce between Israel and Hamas, which entered into force on Friday and will continue for 4 days.

“We must end the cycle of violence in the Middle East,” Biden told reporters while spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Massachusetts. The US President added that the Hamas movement’s release of the first group of hostages it held during its attack on Israel “is only the beginning.”

He explained that the time has come to work on “renewing” the two-state solution, to establish peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
