that article doesn't even identify the biden administration's role beyond making announcements about the ceasefire plan.
still, though, it's fascinating that it's not showing it you because i just did simple search on google news for "trump" and "ceasefire" and it immediately showed me these articles/video that say the same thing i did in my previous comments:

even politico agrees: https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-was-the-closer-on-the-gaza-deal/
how do you get your news? what search terms did you use and where?
I searched DDG for Israel ceasefire. Interesting. I appreciate the info

According to https://journa.host/@w7voa/113833951170679183 f., Pr. Biden himself admits that both -present and incoming- admin people played certain roles.
"For the past few days we have been speaking as one team … I told my team to coordinate closely with the incoming team so that we're all speaking with the same voice."
I don't think that there's any doubt that the Biden administration played a role; infact the plan that they pushed back in the spring is same one that got adopted.
The key take away is that the Biden administration was stuck for the last year and half and Trump's emissary ended up being the MVP that tipped the ball over the net; wo Trump's involvement there would be no ceasefire.
