President Biden gives farewell address

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - Negotiators are on their way to Egypt to put the finishing touches on a ceasefire deal in the Middle East.

President Joe Biden addressed the deal in his final speech from the Oval Office last night.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says negotiators still have some details to work out but the deal between Hamas and Israel pauses the 15-month war in Gaza and return some hostages back to Israel.

Fighting began with Hamas' October 7th attack on Israel.
