On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that if getting the hostages held by Hamas released “requires some sort of humanitarian pause or pauses, then we’re obviously in support of that as well.”
Co-host Geoff Bennett asked, “You have said the U.S. welcomes a pause in the war to allow more time to get humanitarian aid in and hostages out. There are, of course, American hostages being held by Hamas right now. What’s the potential impact of this latest offensive on the effort to get those hostages released?”
Kirby responded, “I think that remains to be seen. Again, I’ll let the Israelis speak for their military operations. But what impact it might have on the ability to get hostages out, I think we’re just — it’s just too soon to know here, as things begin to unfold. We still stand by our strong desire to see all of those hostages released. And Hamas should do it immediately, and short of that, we’ve got to continue to work on negotiations to try to see that outcome, and we’re doing that.
