00:00 The US president had signalled a potential breakthrough in the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict,
00:08 indicating active efforts to broker a deal between the two opposing sides.
00:14 Biden, alongside the Jordanian King Abdullah II, stated that while the main components
00:20 of the agreement are on the table, there are still unresolved issues.
00:24 He emphasised the commitment of the US to do everything possible to facilitate an agreement,
00:31 including a six-week ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages held by Hamas.
00:36 Biden said, and I quote, "Hundreds of thousands have no access to food, water and other basic
00:43 services.
00:44 Many families have lost not just one but many relatives and cannot mourn for them, even
00:50 worry them, because it's not safe to do so."
00:53 He also said that he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well
00:58 as leaders of Qatar and Egypt.

01:17 to prevent further humanitarian devastation.
