The Biden administration kept incoming President-elect Donald Trump’s administration closely apprised of its efforts to broker the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah that is slated to go into effect early Wednesday.

The president’s appeal comes as a cease-fire in Gaza has proved far more elusive than a deal between Israel and its northern adversary.

President Joe Biden announced from the White House Tuesday that Israel and the terror group Hezbollah agreed to the U.S.-led ceasefire deal.
