According to a report from The Washington Post over the weekend, the negotiations led by the Biden administration have been disrupted by new demands from Hamas concerning the release of imprisoned Palestinians. During a press briefing on Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and national security spokesman John Kirby acknowledged these new demands. Kirby noted that &#8220;Hamas did change some of the terms of the exchange, which has complicated our efforts,&#8221; but he still believes it is worthwhile to pursue ceasefire negotiations despite these amendments. He also dismissed claims that Biden was not exerting enough pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that Hamas is the primary obstacle to reaching an agreement. Jean-Pierre emphasized that Biden&#8217;s team is making &#8220;all efforts&#8221; to secure a deal for releasing hostages held by Hamas and mentioned ongoing discussions with co-mediators like Qatar as part of their focus. Meanwhile, U.S. allies are beginning to shift their stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict; for instance, the United Kingdom has recently halted arms sales to Israel pending a ceasefire agreement. Kirby refrained from commenting on whether Biden would address this decision with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his visit but stated respect for Britain&#8217;s position while emphasizing collaboration as principal allies on various foreign policy matters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2645,"featured_media":2338817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/white-house-ceasefire.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[13427,3817,38542,32127],"class_list":["post-2338816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-ceasefire","tag-diplomacy","tag-israel-hamas","tag-white-house"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/white-house-ceasefire.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
