Lebanon truce possible, ending Gaza war harder: Biden

Update : 18 Oct 2024, 23:37

US President Joe Biden says there's a possibility of working towards a ceasefire in Lebanon, but it will be harder to achieve in Gaza.

He made the comments during his one-day visit to Berlin, where he held talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, reports the BBC.

Asked by reporters if he has an understanding of how and when Israel would respond to the missile attacks by Iran, Biden replied yes, but he didn't elaborate further.

As a reminder, Iran launched almost 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel on 1 October. Most of the projectiles were intercepted, according to Israel's military.
