The Biden administration had previously avoided the use of the term “cease-fire,” with top officials like Secretary of State Antony Blinken talking instead about the need for a “sustainable calm” and others talking about the need for “restraint.” While a cease-fire would be welcomed by the White House, Mr. Netanyahu has in recent days made clear that he intended to continue Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza until it has destroyed Hamas’s stockpile of rockets, launchers, and the tunnels from which Hamas fighters are operating. |
