President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday to discuss Hamas’ response to a hostage and cease-fire deal which may be pivotal in ending the war.
President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via phone on Thursday following Hamas’ response to a hostage and cease-fire deal, Fox News Digital can confirm. The leaders discussed a response by Hamas to a ceasefire deal and the release of the remaining 116 hostages who were captured by the terrorist group during the Oct. 7 attacks, which left nearly 1,200 people dead.
Neither the White House nor Netanyahu provided many details about the conversation, although Netanyahu is said to have congratulated Biden and the American people on the occasion of the U.S.'s commemoration of Independence Day. Netanyahu said that without the U.S. there would be no freedom in the world and President Biden said that without Israel there would be no security for Jews in the world, per an Israeli spokesperson.
Netanyahu has been skeptical of the deal, saying that Israel is still committed to destroying Hamas. 'The war will end once Israel achieves all of its objectives, including the destruction of Hamas and the release of all of our hostages,' Netanyahu said in a video statement given in Hebrew earlier this week. Netanyahu was slamming a New York Times report quoting senior Israeli officials who claim some military brass want a cease-fire with Hamas.
