MINNEAPOLIS – "On Wednesday, U.S.
President Joe Biden was giving a campaign speech when a woman stood up and
shouted, 'Mr. President, if you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need
you to call for a ceasefire.'

In response, Biden replied, 'I think we need a
pause.'
The pause Biden was referring to is a
humanitarian pause that was also presented at the UN Security Council meeting
and was previously vetoed by the U.S. The reason for the veto was that the
proposal did not include Israel's right to self-defense. However, on October
27, White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby shared, 'We
believe that if a pause could be effective in allowing for the departure and
release of hostages, then that is something we would absolutely support, and we
believe Israel should support it.' Prior to the Jordan-led resolution to call
for an immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a
cessation of hostilities, which received 120 votes in favor, an amendment
proposed by Canada and backed by over 35 Member States, including the US,
seeking an explicit condemnation of Hamas, did not pass, failing to get
two-thirds support."
