Biden says 'full and complete' ceasefire in phase one of Gaza deal

US President Joe Biden said there will be a "full and complete" ceasefire in phase one of the Gaza deal announced on Wednesday. 

"Fighting in Gaza will stop, and soon the hostages return home to their families," Biden said.

Biden said that the ceasefire was the "exact" same one that he had introduced in May 2024. 

He also noted that the incoming Trump administration would implement the deal.
