Biden knocked on the doors of these Muslim countries for the release of hostages from Hamas!
The war continues between Israel and Hamas. After 6 months have passed, there is no sign of the war stopping. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening day by day. Not only Gaza, but people are also worried about the hostages remaining with Hamas. Peace talks were held between Hamas and Israel several times in the past but they ended without any result. Now US President Joe Biden has urged the mediating countries Egypt and Qatar to put pressure on Hamas for the release of the hostages.
After almost 6 months, the Biden administration has expressed deep concern regarding the hostages. Let us tell you that America, Egypt and Qatar have been negotiating behind the scenes for several weeks for a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages from Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Shukravar learned from White House sources that next week another meeting regarding the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel will be held in Cairo.
Speaking on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, Biden said that every effort should be made to ensure the release of hostages, including American citizens, who have been held by Hamas for 6 months. Biden has reportedly written letters to the President of Egypt and the Emir of Qatar, urging them to pressure Hamas to agree to and abide by a deal.
According to reports, American officials said that this is not hidden from anyone, if Hamas releases the hostages then there will be a ceasefire. During the phone conversation between Biden and Netanyahu, both leaders insisted on the release of the hostages.
