America will try for a six-week ceasefire in Gaza: Joe Biden – Dainik Savera Times

Washington: US President Joe Biden, while greeting the Muslim community around the world on the occasion of Ramadan, reiterated that the US will continue to work towards an immediate ceasefire of at least six weeks under the hostage release agreement. Joe Biden said, ‘America will continue to work tirelessly to achieve an immediate ceasefire for at least six weeks under the hostage release agreement. We will continue to work towards a long-term future of stability, security and peace. This includes a two-state solution to ensure that the people of Palestine and Israel enjoy equal freedom, dignity, security and prosperity. This is the only path towards lasting peace.”

He said the United States will continue to lead international efforts to deliver more humanitarian assistance to Gaza by land, air and sea. While wishing the Muslim community a happy Ramadan, he said, ‘This holy month is a time for reflection and renewal. This year this month has come at a very painful time. The war in Gaza has caused terrible suffering to the Palestinian people. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in this war, most of whom are civilians. Thousands of children are also included in these. Some American Muslims have family members who are mourning the loss of their loved ones today.

The US leader expressed support for Israel’s right to take action against Hamas following the October 7 attack, but added that Netanyahu should “pay more attention to the number of innocent people killed as a result of this action.” Joe Biden said in an interview on Saturday that he thinks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “hurting Israel rather than helping” with his war tactics against Hamas in Gaza.
