Biden makes final push for Mideast peace as leaders await Trump’s inauguration

The Biden administration is making a final effort to negotiate peace in Gaza and Lebanon, but the recent election of Donald Trump may limit U.S. influence. Regional leaders are likely to wait for Trump's inauguration before making significant moves. Following Trump's victory, Israeli and Arab officials are adjusting their strategies. Netanyahu, who supports Trump, has dismissed a key defense minister, signaling a shift in Israeli policy as they anticipate a more favorable U.S. stance under Trump. While Biden has pushed for humanitarian aid and ceasefire talks, progress has stalled. Analysts suggest that Netanyahu will comply minimally with Biden's demands until Trump takes office, as he expects a more supportive U.S. approach from the incoming administration.
