Bisden Seeks 6--Week Ceasefire in Israel--Hamas War; Plan Allows Hostages Held to Be Released

 The U.S. is working on a deal between Israel and Hamas for a pause in fighting in Gaza for at least six weeks to allow the release of additional hostages still held captive by Hamas, the USA Today website reports today  (Feb. 13, 2024). 


After a "sustained period of calm" in Gaza, "we could then take the time to build something more enduring," Biden said after meeting at the White House with Jordanian King Abdullah II. 


Biden said he has spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , as well as leaders of Qatar and Egypt, "to push this forward."
