This 42-day ceasefire aims to halt the 15-month conflict and facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas.

A poll released Tuesday by the Institute for Middle East Understanding conducted by YouGov ranked the war in Gaza as a top issue for Democratic-leaning voters who stayed home in 2024 rather than voting in some of the key swing states that were won back by Donald Trump after he lost them four years prior.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of backing out of a cease-fire deal to release hostages and end the war in Gaza, which has raged for more than a year.

Netanyahu has reason to think Trump will allow him greater freedom of action in the region than Biden or Kamala Harris would have—and that, therefore, he can afford to compromise a little bit on a ceasefire deal. At the same time, the leaders of Hamas ...

Survey found that Harris lost 'because of the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians'

A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and end Gaza fighting is being claimed as a win by Trump and Biden.

For President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021, Harris telegraphed bipartisanship in a purple coat and matching dress by Christopher John Rogers, a black designer born in Baton Rouge, based in New York City and famed for his vibrantly colorful clothes.

The former vice president’s first acts as a nonelected official for the first time in decades could be a sign of what comes next.

Among Biden 2020 voters who did not cast their ballots for Harris, 29% said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the main factor affecting their vote — making it the most cited issue among several options, according to a poll by YouGov and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project released Jan. 15.

The ceasefire deal marks a major win for President Joe Biden in his final days in office, but President-elect Donald Trump is also seeking credit.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken had said the U.S. wanted a ceasefire deal in Gaza and all remaining captives released before Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20.

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal in Gaza after the White House brought Trump’s Middle East envoy into negotiations that have dragged on for months.
