Biden Shifts Rhetoric on Israel-Hamas War, Emphasizing Need for Temporary CeasefireAn Israeli offensive in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge, would complicate efforts toward a halt in the war. United States President Joe Biden spent months wanting a “pause” in the fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. But with Israel preparing for a ground offensive in Rafah, his rhetoric is shifting to emphasise the need for a “temporary ceasefire”. It sounds like a slight rhetorical difference, but it is one that inches Mr Biden closer to many around the world and to critics within his own Democratic Party who want a permanent ceasefire to a war in which nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed. The most recent two vetoes blocked language demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. But Washington has now proposed its own draft resolution enshrining the word “ceasefire”. The draft calls for a temporary ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war linked to the release of hostages held by Hamas and opposes a major ground offensive by its ally Israel in Rafah, according to the text seen by Reuters.
