Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Mike Herzog claimed on Wednesday that US President Joe Biden is pushing for a ceasefire and hostage agreement between Hamas and Israel to be reached in order to strengthen his position and gain political credit if his efforts result in a successful outcome. “Biden will see it as an achievement and will want to take credit. It is not the main reason, but of course, there is a political dimension to it,” Herzog told Israel’s Army Radio. Furthermore, the envoy admitted that there are disagreements between the US and Israel over the war in Gaza, but went on to stress that relations between the two countries remain “strong.” NN: The world is sleeping
