Since Netanyahu released a video on Tuesday criticizing the United States for withholding support, the Biden administration jumped on the offensive, discrediting every word the prime minister said.
The White House's assumption is that Hamas's response delivered to Qatar came with Yaha Sinwar's approval, according to Kirby.
Johnson said he hopes President Biden listens to other Democrats who are denouncing the ICC and calling for actions.
“The world should know, the Palestinian people should know, that the only thing standing in the way of an immediate ceasefire today is Hamas,” Miller said.
Biden is committed to doing everything possible to increase and sustain humanitarian assistance, John Kirby said.
The White House also defended its decision to 'official condolences', saying that it was 'typical condolences.'
Kirby seemed assured that the recovery of the three hostages will not have a major effect on the hostage negotiations.
The White House clarifies its stance on Israel's Rafah operation, supporting targeting Hamas but urging precision to avoid humanitarian suffering.
We know who's been taken, and we want them all back, Kirby said.
“We don't want to see this escalate. We're not looking for a wider war with Iran," John Kirby told NBC on Sunday.
