Biden: Hamas Holds Key to Ceasefire in War with Israel

0:00

President Joe Biden, during a fundraiser in Seattle, Washington, suggested that a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas could be achieved if the U.S.-designated Islamic terror group releases the remaining hostages.

Biden emphasized that a ceasefire could be implemented immediately if Hamas releases women, elderly, and wounded hostages. The ongoing conflict began when Hamas launched an attack on Israel, resulting in casualties and hostages being taken. Israel responded with a self-defense operation in Gaza.

Biden’s remarks followed his previous statements regarding withholding weapons from Israel if they invaded Rafah, Hamas’s stronghold. The United States had also halted a shipment of bombs to Israel.

The situation escalated with Hamas firing rockets and Israel preparing for a possible ground invasion. Israeli officials criticized Hamas for calling for a ceasefire without agreeing to terms.

The conflict continues with the IDF urging residents to evacuate and escalating military operations in the region.
