Last night, President Joe Biden emphasized the need for a “pause” in the Israel-Hamas conflict to facilitate the release of “prisoners.” Speaking at a campaign reception in Minnesota, Biden responded to a protester’s question by stating, “I think we need a pause.” When asked to clarify what a pause meant, he explained, “A pause means give time to get the prisoners out. Give time.”
Efforts to secure the release of 239 hostages, including children and the elderly, have been ongoing since the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, resulting in the loss of approximately 1,400 lives in Israel. Following Hamas’s breach of Israel’s border wall, other groups from Gaza also took additional captives.
