President Joe Biden called on Hamas to accept the current ceasefire proposal while his administration eagerly awaits the terrorist group's response.
It’s “now up to Hamas,” the president said during a Wednesday afternoon press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio. “They need to move on the proposal that has been made.”
U.S. officials are awaiting Hamas’s response to the proposal, which could take a couple of days due to the difficulties the intermediaries have communicating with the leaders of the terrorist group. President, said he urged Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed al Thani to “secure an answer from as soon as possible.”
Earlier this month, Israeli forces launched airstrikes killing seven aid workers in Gaza who were employed by World Central Kitchen, a humanitarian organization founded by famous chef Jose Andres. The strike, which Israeli leaders have expressed remorse over and investigated, infuriated leaders across the globe, including in the White House.
