Biden urged Netanyahu to halt fighting for multiple days, report says.

A‍ New Report Reveals Biden’s Urgent Plea to Netanyahu for a Cease-Fire in Gaza

In a recent phone call between President ⁤Joe Biden ⁤and Prime⁢ Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of‍ Israel, Biden made ‌a compelling case for a temporary halt to Israel’s military operation against Hamas militants in the Gaza​ Strip. The purpose of this pause, as reported by Axios, ‍was to secure the release of Israeli hostages who were captured by Hamas during a terrorist attack last month.

The plan, brokered by Qatar, involved Hamas providing a list of all the‍ hostages under ‌their custody. The ​fighting would then ‍cease for ⁣three days, allowing progress in the release of these hostages. This development was shared on‌ Twitter by Citizen Free Press.

However, Netanyahu expressed skepticism‌ about Hamas’ intentions and their willingness to deliver the ⁣hostages. He feared that ⁢a cease-fire would only provide an opportunity for Hamas to ⁤regroup and launch further attacks on Israeli soldiers. In an interview with ABC News, Netanyahu firmly rejected the ‍idea of‌ a general cease-fire, stating that it would be a surrender to Hamas.

While Netanyahu remained firm on the release of hostages being a prerequisite for any cease-fire, he did leave room for limited pauses in fighting ⁤to allow for the liberation of individual hostages or the delivery of humanitarian goods.

According⁢ to Israeli officials, there are⁣ currently 241 individuals held captive by Hamas and other terrorist groups in⁣ Gaza.
