White House still opposes a general ceasefire in Gaza

John Kirby, the White House national spokesperson, made additional remarks to the press on Friday.

He said that the US continues to oppose a general ceasefire in Gaza, believing it will help Hamas.

"I think it's important to remember that there was a ceasefire in place on the sixth of October," he said.

At the same time, Kirby said that President Biden still believes in the viability of a two-state solution with separate Israeli and Palestinian states.
