360 summary
  • The ceasefire deal was a result of two-fold U.S. cooperation between otherwise rival camps, with Biden’s team working closely with Trump’s incoming team and regional partners in Doha.
  • The negotiations were dragged out far longer than might have been seen during a non-election season, likely due to the election-year calendar in the United States.
  • Trump's influence put added pressure on Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement, which was the first time there has been real pressure on the Israeli side to accept a deal.

TIMETIME
  • A Biden official acknowledged the effectiveness of the partnership between Biden negotiator Brett McGurk and Trump's envoy, Witkoff, in securing the deal.
  • Experts suggest that Trump's team may have pressured Netanyahu to accept the deal, as Trump wanted to take credit for it and did not want the war to continue during his watch.
  • It is also possible that Netanyahu used the pressure from Trump's team to show goodwill to his far-right partners in the government and defuse their anger.

  • The timing of the announcement could be aimed at framing the Trump team as more effective on Middle East peace issues
  • The overshadowing of Biden's role in the deal recalls the political fortunes of former President Jimmy Carter, who worked with the incoming Reagan administration to secure the release of American hostages in Iran
  • The significance of Netanyahu's meeting with Trump's team in the deal could be overblown, but it's possible that Trump's team brought new ideas or leveraged specific relationships to sway Netanyahu's position

  • The ceasefire deal puts a halt to the 15-month war in Gaza, starting in phases that kick off with hostage-for-prisoner trades and a six-week ceasefire.
  • More than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed since the Oct. 7 attack, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and a report by a United Nations-created commission accused both Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes and violating international law.
  • About 98 hostages are believed to remain in Gaza, and about 60 are expected to still be alive, The Washington Post reported.
