W.H. Spox on Harris Calling for Ceasefire in Gaza: It’s What the President ‘Has Been Reiterating’

‘There is a hostage deal on the table that Hamas should take’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, here’s what I’ll say. What you heard from the vice president is what this president has been reiterating, what we have been reiterating. The president spoke about this on Friday, he is trying to get this hostage deal that would bring hostages home, including Americans, and get that all-important humanitarian aid into Gaza. It would — it would — it would hopefully last for an extended period of time, the fight would pause for an extended period of time, and there is a deal on the table right now. There’s a hostage deal on the table that Hamas should take. This is something that the president has been very serious about. We’ve been dealing with this for the past several weeks, and Hamas should take this deal. We want to make sure that we get these hostages home, American hostages as well, and that import humanitarian aid. You heard us this week announce $53 million that USAID was — the administrator was in the region just a couple days ago announcing that. You heard us talk about the airdropping of humanitarian aid."
