Minneapolis [US], November 3

US President Joe Biden has expressed his support for a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war, underscoring the urgency of securing the release of hostages in Gaza, as reported by CNN.

His response came after a protester at a fundraiser in Minneapolis demanded a ceasefire.

During his speech in Minneapolis, a member of the audience, who identified as a rabbi, shouted, “As a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire right now,” as reported by a CNN journalist present at the event.

In response to the protester’s call for a ceasefire, President Biden acknowledged the need for a temporary halt in fighting to facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

It is important to note that Biden and other administration officials have not officially endorsed a ceasefire.
“I think we need a pause. A pause means give time to get the prisoners out,” Biden said on Wednesday evening.
