White House dismisses growing Democratic push for Gaza ceasefire.
The White House Stands Firm on Gaza Ceasefire
The White House is facing mounting pressure to change its stance on a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, but it remains resolute. During a press conference in Lewiston, Maine, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the issue, emphasizing that now is not the time for a permanent ceasefire.
“It would benefit Hamas, give them time to regroup and plot a new attack or new attacks,”
Instead, President Joe Biden is calling for a “humanitarian pause” in the fighting to allow civilians and Hamas hostages to evacuate Gaza.
When questioned about Democratic lawmakers and officials who are urging Biden to openly call for a ceasefire, Jean-Pierre defended Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas. She acknowledged the tragic loss of innocent lives and expressed the administration’s commitment to providing life-saving assistance to those in need.
It is clear that the people of Gaza are suffering, and the blame lies with Hamas, who puts them in even greater danger. The White House is determined to support those affected by the conflict and work towards a resolution that prioritizes the sanctity and dignity of every innocent life.
