US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan stressed the need for the Red Cross to visit the remaining hostages in Gaza during a call yesterday with ICRC president Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, the White House says.
The US readout does not go as far as Sullivan did on Sunday, when he backed Israel’s claim that Red Cross visits to the remaining hostages were a stipulation of the ongoing truce between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas has not commented on the clause and the sides have yet to publicize the agreement itself.
