US President Joe Biden said today that it is possible to work towards a ceasefire in Lebanon, but that it will be more difficult in the Gaza Strip, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.

Biden, who is visiting Berlin, told reporters that he has information on how and when Israel will respond to Iran's October 1 missile attack on Israel. However, the American leader did not reveal details.

Biden also said there is an opportunity to reach an agreement with Israel and Iran in a way that could temporarily end their conflict in the Middle East.

The American president said this to reporters at the end of his visit to Berlin.

Tensions are high in the Middle East, with Israel expected to respond to the Iranian attack.

"In my view - and my colleagues agree - there is an opportunity to come to an agreement with Israel and Iran in a way that will end the conflict for a while,", Biden said.
