A senior Biden administration official says the US will not call for an end to the war in Gaza that doesn’t include the release of all Israeli hostages.
“We have said that this conflict should end, but not just on any terms. There are many many innocent people who are still captive inside Gaza, and we are not calling for an end of the conflict that ignores their plight,” says Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer during an onstage interview with the Axios news site on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
“We think that would be fundamentally inhumane and irresponsible,” he says.
