Biden's Stance on Israel-Hamas Conflict: No Ceasefire Until Hostages Released

President Joe Biden stated that he would not support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war until all hostages, including Americans, kidnapped by Hamas are released. The State Department rejected the idea of a ceasefire, arguing that it would give Hamas the opportunity to regroup and continue launching terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has ordered additional troops to the Middle East to deter Iran and Hezbollah from escalating the conflict.
