The White House on Thursday said it was exploring a series of pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to help people safely exit Gaza and allow humanitarian aid to get in, but reiterated its opposition to a full ceasefire.

National security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that such pauses should be temporary and localized, and insisted they would not stop Israel from defending itself.

"What we're trying to do is explore the idea of as many pauses as might be necessary to continue to get aid out and to continue to work to get people out safely, including hostages," he told reporters at a regular White House briefing.

get foreigner national out: Actively working on it.

would be better if there's a ceasefire.

negotiation for hostage release: Actively working on it.

would be better if there's a ceasefire.

initiate peace talk: Being discussed

a discussion on what happened to the ruin of Gaza is not a peace talk.

send peace keeping troop via UN to West Bank: I’m pretty sure you would call this more western imperialism.

Not if it's under UN.

Keep emphasize […] “condemn hamas”: If you don’t think that Hamas should be condemned, that says more about you than it does about Joe Biden.

No where did i say Hamas should not be condemned, only that "condemning hamas" should not take precedence over ceasefire.

It’s ‘ceasefire’, by the way.
