"Biden Urges Humanitarian Pause in Israel-Gaza Conflict Amidst Growing Pressure"

US President Joe Biden has called for a "pause" in the Israel-Hamas conflict, stating that it would allow for hostages to be released and humanitarian aid to be delivered. An unconfirmed number of American citizens have left Gaza, with more scheduled to depart. The UK, Canada, and EU have also refrained from calling for a ceasefire, citing concerns about favoring Hamas. Biden acknowledged the complexity of the situation and expressed support for a two-state solution.
