Biden accuses Netanyahu of not doing enough to secure ceasefire deal

US president says White House is 'very close' to presenting final ceasefire proposal to both Hamas and Israel.

US President Joe Biden on Monday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not doing enough to secure a deal with Hamas that would see the release of hostages held in Gaza. Biden was commenting in response to a question posed by a reporter at the White House. When asked whether he thought Netanyahu was doing enough to reach a hostage deal, the president said "no" without elaborating. Biden spoke prior to a decisive meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and the White House's national security team to determine the strategy to push for a final ceasefire deal. "They discussed next steps in the ongoing effort to secure the release of hostages, including continuing consultations with co-mediators Qatar and Egypt," a White House statement about the meeting said.
The comment comes after Israeli forces over the weekend recovered the bodies of six hostages, including 23-year-old American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin whose parents spoke at the Democratic National Convention last month.
