Biden Shifts Rhetoric on Israel-Hamas War, Emphasizing Need for Temporary CeasefireAn Israeli offensive in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have sought refuge, would complicate efforts toward a halt in the war. United States President Joe Biden spent months wanting a “pause” in the fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. But with Israel preparing for a ground offensive in Rafah, his rhetoric is shifting to emphasise the need for a “temporary ceasefire”.
