During an unannounced visit to Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in Manhattan, near Rockefeller Plaza, U.S. President Joe Biden was asked about when a ceasefire in Gaza might start.

“I hope by the end of the weekend,” Biden said, per the pool report.
“My national security advisor tells me that we’re close. We’re close. We’re not done yet,” Biden said. “My hope is by next Monday, we’ll have a ceasefire.”
The president was in town to film an appearance with comedian Seth Meyers, host of an eponymous NBC program. The actress and comedian Amy Poehler was also a guest on the program, per the pool report.
Monday marks the 10-year anniversary of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and Biden appeared, as vice president, on its first episode in February 2014, according to the pool.
The pool reported that Biden ate mint-chip ice-cream, and after saying that he “had a little cash,” he (apparently) “jokingly asked if any members of the pool wanted an ice-cream, too.”
He can keep hoping. Hope and change. Ain’t going to happen.
Who’s on the phone, Joe ? Obama ?? The race baiting Kenyan ?
I hope & can’t wait to see him at seiner citizen institution
And let American become great again
MR BIDEN, GAI IN DRED.
Biden doesn’t even know if he will be alive, fall-free, indicted or mentally sane by Monday, let alone dictate to leave terrorists be.
Monday marks the 10-year anniversary of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” someone of more integrity would have focused on today’s 31st anniversary of the World Trade Center זצ”ל הי”ד
MY HOPE BY NEXT MONDAY ALL HOSTAGES RELEASED WITH “NO DEAL “. There are other options .
Hope?? This is how this guy operates. How pathetic. At least he could have said “I hope and I pray”. I hope that the North East USA has winter temperatures the same as Florida. It ain’t gonna happen.
Biden has no idea if he is coming or going. Sad
Biden had to stay up past his bedtime to record his appearance at 4pm.
Senior Israeli officials tell Hebrew media that there is mounting pessimism that Hamas will agree to a hostage deal laid out in a framework proposed by mediators.
Both Channel 12 and the Kan public broadcaster quote a senior official as saying that they were told that the framework worked out in Paris by the US, Egyptian and Qatari mediators “doesn’t correspond with Hamas demands.”
Peace in our time
