Description

A scheduled Thursday vote in Israel on a peace deal between Hamas and Israel was delayed. It's a setback to hopes that an end to the fighting was near. US President Biden and Qatar's prime minister announced separately that Israel and Hamas reached a multiphase ceasefire deal for ending the war in Gaza. VOA's Carol Van Dam asked Edmund Ghareeb, a Lebanese-American scholar at the Washington Institute for Peace and Development whether the delay means the ceasefire could be in serious jeopardy.
