REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware — US President Joe Biden says that progress has been made on securing a so-called “humanitarian pause” in the fighting between Israel and Hamas, as his secretary of state works on the same issue in the Middle East.
When asked if any progress had been made on the issue, Biden replies “yes” as he leaves a church in Delaware and offers a thumbs up before getting into his vehicle. He doesn’t give any further details.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Amman that a humanitarian pause in the fighting would help protect civilians and get more aid into the besieged Gaza Strip.
