Biden says ceasefire in Middle East would cause more Hamas attacks - WaPo
URGENT
WASHINGTON, November 18. /TASS/. US President Joe Biden believes that a ceasefire in the Middle East would lead to new attacks from the Palestinian radical movement Hamas.
"As long as Hamas clings to its ideology of destruction, a cease-fire is not peace. To Hamas’s members, every cease-fire is time they exploit to rebuild their stockpile of rockets, reposition fighters and restart the killing by attacking innocents again," he said in an article for The Washington Post. According to the US leader, "an outcome that leaves Hamas in control of Gaza would once more perpetuate its hate and deny Palestinian civilians the chance to build something better for themselves."
