Earlier on Saturday, we wrote about the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) undertaking a bold rescue mission in Gaza, managing to extract four hostages who had been taken during the Oct. 7th attack on Israel by Hamas. In the aftermath of the rescues, reactions have started to filter in, including from pro-Hamas supporters.

Another reaction that some might read as less than joyous comes from the Biden White House.

The Biden administration responds to Israel's successful operation rescuing four hostages from Hamas in Gaza (being held in civilian homes, no less!) by pushing for a ceasefire, because of course.

In a statement, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan signaled support for "all efforts to secure the release of hostages," and then doubled down on the administration's desire for a ceasefire. He said:

U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Saturday that the U.S. is supporting all efforts to secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas, including American citizens.

“This includes through ongoing negotiations or other means. The hostage release and cease-fire deal that is now on the table would secure the release of all the remaining hostages together with security assurances for Israel and relief for the innocent civilians in Gaza,” Sullivan said.
