White House national security spokesperson John Kirby says if Hamas agrees to President Joe Biden’s ceasefire proposal to end the war, the US expects Israel to also accept the plan.
“This was an Israeli proposal. We have every expectation that if Hamas agrees to the proposal – as was transmitted to them, an Israeli proposal – then Israel would say yes,” Kirby said in an interview on the ABC News programme This Week.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a day earlier that its military goal had remained unchanged and that the end of the war would not occur until Hamas had been “destroyed”.
