US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu engaged in critical talks about the potential for “tactical pauses” in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. These pauses are intended to address humanitarian concerns and facilitate possible hostage releases.
According to White House spokesman John Kirby, the United States and Israel will remain in close communication regarding these temporary pauses. Both leaders, Biden and Netanyahu, have agreed to continue discussions in the coming days.
The aim of these pauses is to provide temporary relief to the fighting, allowing the safe exit of Americans from Gaza and the flow of aid into the region. The White House recognizes that the current flow of aid and evacuations remains insufficient, and stresses the need for significant improvements.
In their conversation, Biden and Netanyahu also addressed the situation in the West Bank. The White House emphasized the importance of increasing the number of aid trucks entering Gaza, with fewer than 30 trucks in the last 24 hours.
It is important to note that the White House maintains that a general ceasefire may not be the most appropriate step at this time. Instead, the aim is to achieve shorter breaks in strikes to achieve specific humanitarian objectives.
As the situation in the Middle East continues to evolve, the international community remains committed to diplomatic efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict. We will keep you informed of any news in the coming days.
