@thehillpolitics: President Biden now says that a cease-fire in Gaza probably won’t start before next week. “Hope springs eternal,” Biden said when asked if he expects a cease-fire by Monday. More than 100 Palestinians in Gaza City were killed Thursday while trying to get humanitarian aid, according to the Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry. While the president said he did not yet have an answer on news of incident, when asked if he thought the civilian deaths could complicate negotiations over a hostage deal, he replied: “I know it will.” Biden has faced growing pressure to back a permanent cease-fire, especially from progressives. #presidentbiden #israelhamasconflict #ceasefire #congress #politics #thehill #fyp
