United States President Joe Biden has declared there should not be a ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas releases its Israeli hostages, despite desperate calls from international human rights officials.
The leader of the free world made the assertion when he was questioned on whether he would support a hostage-for-ceasefire deal during a White House press briefing on Monday .“Then we can talk,” he said.
About 200 more hostages are being held by Hamas, after they were captured during the militant group’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7. The assault left more than 1,400 Israelis dead. The region, which densely houses two million Palestinians, is on the brink of a major humanitarian disaster with critical supplies running dangerously low.
He urged both sides to ensure compliance with international law, while reiterating calls for a ceasefire. “And, unless something changes, coming days will see more civilians on the brink of death from continuing bombardment. Humanity must come first.
