Biden meeting with Netanyahu in Israel ▲ File photo: Yonhap News U.S. President Joe Biden announced that he is discussing with Israel whether to postpone the start of the ground war in the Gaza Strip.
Reuters reported on the 21st local time that President Biden responded, “We are talking to Israel,” when asked whether he was recommending Israel postpone its invasion of Gaza.
In a situation where there was some confusion surrounding President Biden’s remarks the previous day about Israel’s postponement of the ground war, attention is drawn as President Biden once again mentions related content.
President Biden previously answered “yes” to a reporter’s question on the 20th, “Do you want to postpone the ground war until more hostages are free?”
However, in relation to this, the White House began to correct President Biden’s remarks, saying there was a mistake.
On the same day, White House spokesman Ben Loveold said of President Biden’s ‘yes’ answer, “It was not about Israel’s plan for a ground war in the Gaza Strip targeting Palestinian armed factions.”
Spokesperson Loveoldt said, “The president was far away and did not hear the entire question,” and explained that the question sounded like “‘Do you want to see more hostages released?'”
