“I have to go to the situation room. There’s an issue I need to deal with,” Biden said.
The president left the event on economy inside the White House complex as reports of two more hostages being released by Hamas came in.
“Any ceasefire would give Hamas the ability to rest, to refit, and to get ready to continue launching terrorist attacks against Israel,” Miller said. “You can understand perfectly clearly why that’s an intolerable situation for Israel, as it would be an intolerable situation for any country that has suffered such a brutal terrorist attack.”
Hamas released two additional hostages, both Israeli women, on Monday after releasing two Americans, a mother and daughter, on Friday.
