U.S. Doesn't Support Ceasefire in Gaza
(ABC News) Alexandra Hutzler - National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Monday, "We do not believe that a ceasefire is the right answer right now [in Gaza]. We believe that a ceasefire right now benefits Hamas, and Hamas is the only one that would gain from that right now as Israel continues to prosecute their operations against Hamas leadership." Kirby said the administration is not "lecturing" Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu when discussing the need for Israel to follow the rules of war. "It's something that even the prime minister brings up in the conversation" with President Biden. "They both recognize that as democracies it's important to abide by the law of war to protect innocent life and to try to minimize civilian casualties."
