Biden calls for six-week pause in Gaza to ‘do everything possible’ for hostage deal
The United States is working on a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas which would bring an immediate and sustained period of common to Gaza for at least 6 weeks which we could then take the time to build something more enduring over the past month I’ve had calls with prime minister
Netanyahu as well as the leaders of Egypt and cter to push this forward the key element of the deals are on the table the gaps that remain but I’ve encouraged Israeli leaders to keep working to achieve the deal the United States will do everything possible to
Make it happen The King and I also discuss the situation in Rafa as I said yesterday our military operation in Rafa there the major military operation Raa should not proceed without a credible plan a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support of more than 1 million people Sheltering there many
People there have been displaced displaced multiple times fleeing the violence to the north and now they’re packed into Rafa exposed and vulnerable they need to be protected and we’ve also been clear from the start we oppose any forc displacement of Palestinians from Gaza unfortunately one of the most devastating Wars in recent history
Continues to unfold in GZA as we speak nearly 100,000 people have been killed in shed or are missing the majority are women and children we cannot afford an Israeli attack on Rafa it is certain to produce another humanitarian catastrophe the situation is already unbearable for over a million people who have been pushed
Into Rafa since the war started we cannot stand by and let this continue we need a lasting ceasefire now this war must end
Speaking after a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the White House, Joe Biden revealed that the US was working on efforts to agree a six-week pause in the fighting in Gaza as a stepping stone to a longer ceasefire. King Abdullah echoed Biden’s appeal for a ceasefire, ‘We need a lasting ceasefire now. This war must end,’ he said.

The only way to pause a war is if you are in control. If you are pausing a war for one side to benefit, you are not the one under attack. Wars cannot be paused by the victim.
Mr. President follow my figure .
Nobody is taking joe biden seriously.
" Everything possible " would mean Hamas escaping and regrouping.
They only think about hostage what about children of gaza in rafah
Is Joe Biden chewing gum and the gum gets stuck to his dentures which makes him mumble when he speaks.
6 weeks so you can relocate all the Palestinians to the north then start your whole operation again.
What a fool
Isreal need to Stop the occupation and wirh drea from west bank , stop occupation amd then justice will prevail amd then peace . The while reason behind this war is the Horrible occupation, hamas would Not exitsr if thete was no Horrible occupation amd so much injustice to the poor palestinians !!! Tjat is the Root cause behind Hamaa even excisting !!!!! When there is no justice thete is no peace , who wants to live under injustice??????.
But yes what has did wax Horrible!!! But also what isreali government does is also Horrible, both have done bad but now isreal government has done much worse than hamas as it has killed in tbousands and thoysands ……. and we all kniw they dont value palestinian lives
none of Biden's business, sit down and eat your ice cream jo
I see the teleprompter is back in use
FJB
Does anyone really believe that Biden made this decision?
Compare his delivery with The King of Jordan; articulate, fluent and eloquent and English is a second language.
Biden: action speaks louder than words! Stop netanyahoo and his criminal gang now!
What about all the Palestinian hostages held illegally for years??
In the event of a third world war, everyone would have to flee to South America, since there will be no third world war, some say Argentina will become a world power because all Americans will go there, then with the help of the Americans, South America can be made a world power
Biden is disgusting, what a disgrace on so many levels.
I feel like most Americans think of king of Jordan as of CEO of some apparel company.
You can stop it now if you stop sending 5hem weapons, you are a hypocrite, if this 2as any other country…… barb
🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳🇺🇳!!
Robot joe!
Six weeks? BS, a complete ceasefire is what should be called for.
Potato.
“America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: Asufutimaehaehfutbw."
JEEEZ!!!!
Would mean more if they stopped supplying weapons
All f talk
6 weeks! Yeah, that's way too much time. Iran will just ramp up the shipments of arms to Hamas.
United States asking themselves for a pause, forget its United States of Israel 😅
Two cowards beside each other.
In fact and reality Mr. President as humminty and humantition all the world is watching and paid attention for the one million Palestinian in the streets homeless as result from this catstrophie war therfore everybody in the USA should pay attention for homeless Palestinian instead of being busy about ceasefire story greeting from her highness saudi arabia
Child Dealer and Biden actually talked about their personal business partnerships with Israel and how to use the Palestinian orphans for pleasure.
AH!fuaufuff
