US President Joe Biden said that reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and Israel before the month of Ramadan seems difficult, and observers note that Biden’s statements about what is happening in Gaza are currently limited to the issue of aid.

Antoine Shalhat, a specialist in Israeli affairs, in an interview with Monte Carlo International, said that this position is considered a victory for Israel.
“In fact, Biden’s statements that there will be no truce before Ramadan, as well as his State of the Nation address, are seen in Israel as a victory for Israel’s positions that reject the truce and refuse to conclude a prisoner exchange deal.
Even regarding the pier that the US President spoke about, official Israeli sources say that the matter was coordinated with the Israeli government, and therefore it does not even contradict the Israeli position regarding humanitarian aid.
What can be summed up so far is that the American position is very much in line with the Israeli position, even if criticisms appeared in some American statements here and there, and it seems that these criticisms still fall within the framework of what is described as soft criticism of Israel, but the American position is absolute. In his support for Israel.
