Karine Jean-Pierre: ‘This Is a Good Day ... After 15 Months of War, Israel and Hamas Have Reached a Ceasefire and Hostage Deal’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “This is a good day. You all have just heard the terrific news from the president, that after 15 months of war, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage deal. This deal will halt the fighting in Gaza, surge much needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians who have been living in dire conditions, and it will reunite the hostages, including Americans, with their families after more than eight — more than 15 months in captivity, experiencing unimaginable, unimaginable suffering. Over the past few days, President Biden spoke with the leaders of Israel, Qatar and Egypt to continue to push negotiations forward and reach the resolution we announced today.”
