Biden: Israel could lay off weapons in Ramadan. US President Joe Biden spoke on comedian Seth Meyers' talk show about a possible solution to the Gaza war.

“My national security adviser tells me we are close,” Biden said while eating ice cream in New York with Meyers. ‘I hope that we will have a ceasefire by next Monday,' he said. The Muslim fasting month of Ramadan begins around March 10th. It is uncertain whether international mediators will be able to negotiate an agreement on a new hostage exchange.
