US President Joe Biden turns to Gaza now, saying people there "deserve an end to the fighting and displacement", APA reports citing BBC.
"People of Gaza have been through hell," and they have suffered "too much", he adds.
Hamas has a choice to make, he adds, saying the "only way out" is to release the hostages taken from Israel last year.
He says in the coming days the US will make another push to "achieve a ceasefire in Gaza."
This brings them closer to a vision of a future in the Middle East of peace, he says.
The US remains prepared to do "historic deals" for establishing a Palestinian state and a normalisation of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel.
"I believe this agenda remains possible," the US president says, and adds that he will spend the remaining days in office working "tirelessly" towards this.
Biden concludes by stating that today's ceasefire announcement is a crucial step towards achieving peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
He applauds the decision made by the leaders of Lebanon and Israel to end the violence.
"It reminds us that peace is possible," he says.
