Biden ‘pressuring’ Netanyahu to do maximum level ceasefire: Greg Sheridan
America is “pressuring” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do a bigger ceasefire than he’s willing to, according to The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan. Mr Sheridan’s comments follow US President Joe Biden's appearance on a late-night US talk show where he outlined his hopes for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war. “The Israeli Prime Minister is clear, he’ll do a ceasefire if it's temporary and it gets some hostages out. He won’t do a permanent ceasefire or a withdrawal until he’s finished getting rid of Hamas. “A temporary ceasefire might be a good thing if it allows relief supplies into the population, and it frees some Israeli hostages. “I think that’s about what Netanyahu will do for the moment. “Obviously the Americans are pressuring them to do the maximum."
