Asked whether the US supports Israel ending its bombing campaign against Hamas in Gaza, US State Department Matthew Miller says the Biden administration does not support a unilateral Israeli ceasefire, rather a deal with Hamas that would see the release of the remaining 101 hostages in Gaza.
Pressed during a briefing whether the US thinks Israel is more secure as a result of its wars in Gaza and Lebanon, Miller says it will ultimately not be fully secure unless it grants Palestinians self-determination through a two-state solution.
