Now, clearly the US has sent aid, and Biden has tried very hard to mediate a cease fire. But what exactly, could he do more to ensure a cease fire? I asked this same question in P&E, and no one had an answer. Note that Biden does not control how much aid goes to Israel, that is Congress. I dont think you even bothered to post in it? So, **exactly** what could Biden do- _legally-_ that would have ended the war in Gaza? And dont say “cut off aid to Israel” = that was covered and the President can not do that unilaterally. > [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > I also reject this. > > A timeline: **SOURCE: AL JAZEERA** Which is super baised, We had a long argument about this in the other thread, and _you finally conceded that Israel had agreed to the UN ceasefire deal that the US pushed through._ Which Hamas rejected. > **[Adopting Resolution 2735 (2024) with 14 Votes in Favour, Russian Federation...](https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15723.doc.htm)** > > After 247 days of war in Gaza, the Security Council today adopted by 14 votes in favour — with the Russian Federation abstaining — a resolution proposing a comprehensive three-phase ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza, urging both Israel and Hamas... # Adopting Resolution 2735 (2024) with 14 Votes in Favour, Russian Federation Abstaining, Security Council Welcomes New Gaza Ceasefire Proposal, Urges Full Implementation…_The representative of the United States, speaking before the vote, said that “the last eight months have been nothing short but devastating” both for Israelis who lost loved ones on 7 October and Palestinian civilians who “are living through sheer hell”, fleeing from one place to another in search of elusive safety._ _“The only way to bring about a durable end to this war” is a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, she stressed, adding that Israel has agreed to a comprehensive deal on the table, which is nearly identical to Hamas’ own proposal. “Now we are all waiting for Hamas to agree to the ceasefire deal it claims to want, but we cannot allow to wait and wait,” she stated, noting that “with every passing day, needless suffering continues”._ **Notice that AL JAZEERA didnt bother to even mention that UN deal.** So, you already concede that point in another thread. I am not gonna re-argue with you over that. I agree with your points that the Gazas are getting a rare deal, but if you keep trying to show that it is all on israel, not Hamas, there is no point in discussing this with you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-happen-in-gaza-now-that-trump-won/1009762)._
