> Frankly, I'm shocked he didn't push Bibi into waiting until after the inauguration

If you read between the lines it was clear Biden was also pushing hard to wrap it up before his term ends to add it to his legacy (that's how NYT spun it at least). But Trump also had his people negotiating there as well and enough of add a hard-line persuasive influence to force Bibi to show up in Doha last-minute on a weekend during Sabbath [1]. While Biden really didn't seem to have much influence there in the last yr.

But ultimately they both get to take credit.

The cease-fire ending will eventually need a conclusion during Trumps term as well.
