US president says a ceasefire deal with Israel is in the hands of Hamas, adding that an agreement needs to be reached before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Addressing reporters, Biden said: 'There's an offer out there that's rational... we'll know in a couple of days if it's going to happen.' He added: 'There's got to be a ceasefire because if we get into a circumstance where this continues through Ramadan in Israel and Jerusalem it could be very, very dangerous'
