President Biden said Wednesday that he did not strong-arm Israel into delaying an expected ground invasion of Gaza to give more time for more hostages to be released and allow more aid into the Hamas-controlled territory.
Speaking from the White House Rose Garden during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Mr. Biden recommended caution but said he did not push for a delay.
“What I have indicated to him, if that, if it’s possible, to get these folks out safely that’s what he should do. It’s their decision. I did not demand it,” Mr. Biden said. “Obviously, they’re in jeopardy. The question is whether or not there’s any way of getting them out. If we can get them out, we should get them out,” he said.
