Biden commends Trump for ‘renewed ceasefire deal’
Former US President Joe Biden has welcomed the release of Israeli captives and praised the Trump administration for getting “a renewed ceasefire deal over the finish line”.
“I am deeply grateful and relieved that this day has come,” he wrote in a post on X.
“For the last living 20 hostages who have been through unimaginable hell and are finally reunited with their families and loved ones, and for the civilians in Gaza who have experienced immeasurable loss and will finally get the chance to rebuild their lives,” he said.
“Now, with the backing of the United States and the world, the Middle East is on a path to peace that I hope endures and a future for Israelis and Palestinians alike with equal measures of peace, dignity, and safety,” Biden added.

Australia would consider request to send troops to Gaza if asked, minister says
Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles has told Sky News that Canberra would consider a request to send peacekeeping troops to Gaza, but that it has not yet been asked to do so.
“Look, I don’t think we’re in that world yet. There’s been no request … I wouldn’t be in the world of speculating about what we would do in the future,” Marles said.
“Obviously, we consider any request that comes to us. But I don’t really want to speculate on this beyond that. We seek to be as constructive as we can be.”
The minister also praised Trump’s role in securing the ceasefire, saying the US president “deserves an enormous amount of credit”, noting that “over the last two years and more, we have seen just an appalling tragedy play out in the Middle East”.
