Biden urges Gaza ceasefire extension after hostages’ release
President Biden Celebrates Release of American-Israeli Girl from Gaza
President Joe Biden expressed his joy over the release of a 4-year-old American-Israeli girl from Gaza, who was among the latest batch of hostages freed by Hamas. As he works towards extending the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, Biden hailed the short-term truce, now in its third day, for enabling the release of hostages and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“This deal is delivering life-saving results. Critically needed aid is going in, and hostages are coming out. And there’s still a structure so that it can be extended to keep building on these results. That’s my goal. That’s our goal. To keep this pause going beyond tomorrow so that we can continue to see more hostages come out and surge more humanitarian relief into those in need in Gaza,” Biden stated during his remarks on Sunday.
Biden acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the situation, emphasizing that the progress made so far is not guaranteed and should not be taken for granted. However, he found reassurance in the smiles and grateful tears of the families reuniting with their loved ones.
The president confirmed reports from the Israeli Defense Force regarding the release of 13 hostages, including the young Abigail Edan, into Israeli custody. He attributed their release to the intensive diplomatic efforts of the United States.
When asked about the possibility of extending the ceasefire, Biden acknowledged the uncertainty but highlighted the shared interest of various Middle Eastern countries in ending the conflict.
“The deal calls for every 10 hostages released to extend another day. So I’m hopeful this is not the end. That it’s going to continue, but we don’t know,” Biden expressed. “But I get a sense that all the players in the region — even the neighbors who haven’t been directly involved now — are looking for a way to end this so the hostages are all released, and Hamas is … no longer in control of any portion of Gaza.”
Biden also expressed his desire for the ceasefire to continue as long as prisoners are being released. He mentioned his upcoming conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later on Sunday.
