Earlier in the day, Iran rejected calls from Western countries to reconsider its plans to respond to the Israeli killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran by Dave DeCamp

President Biden said Tuesday that he thinks Iran might not launch a retaliatory attack on Israel if a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal is reached.

When asked if Iran might scrap its plans to retaliate for the Israeli killing of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran if Israel and Hamas clinch a deal, Biden said, “That’s my expectation.” However, he also said it was “getting harder” to reach an agreement.

Qatar and Egypt are planning to host ceasefire talks this Thursday, although Hamas is calling for the implementation of a ceasefire proposal that President Biden unveiled back in May. Israeli officials also still believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands are an obstacle to any potential deal.

Maybe a war thus weekend as it would look bad if the ceasefire talks were on going. Israel will reject the talks.
