White House: We do not support a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza
The spokesman of the White House Security Council said in a press conference on Monday evening that the United States does not support a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza, but calls for a humanitarian pause in Gaza. |
According to the Fars News Agency International Group, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday evening that the crisis in Gaza will not end until all the prisoners are freed.
While the number of civilian casualties in Gaza has reached more than 28 thousand people, the spokesperson of the White House Security Council said that The United States does not want to see civilians killed, both Palestinian and Israeli.
Kirbi continued: “There is progress in our efforts to reach a long-term ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”
The spokesman of the White House Security Council said: “We do not currently support a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza.” CIA chief William Burns’ visit to Egypt was announced on Tuesday.
A senior US government official told NBC News that Joe Biden invited President William Burns for consultation. In the context of the ceasefire agreement, which will lead to the release of Israeli prisoners held by Hamas, he sends to Cairo.
According to this American official, if the agreement is reached, it is estimated that 136 Israeli prisoners who are kept in Gaza should be released.
At the same time as the pressure against the Zionist regime increases in the context of any military operation in Rafah, American officials say that after the phone call between US President Joe Biden and Benjamin Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Washington believes that major developments in the agreement on the release of Israeli prisoners are possible this week, and this issue can be resolved early this week.
