00:38 GMT 23.11.2023 (Updated: 09:24 GMT 05.12.2023) After a surprise ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was brokered by the Qatari government, US media outlets started praising US President Joe Biden’s “secret role” in brokering the deal.
However, outside of a few anonymous officials and aides speaking to US media, there is scant evidence that Biden played a significant role in the negotiations.
While outlets pointed to Biden’s recent calls for a humanitarian pause as evidence that he was pressuring Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu to show more restraint, Biden and White House officials always couched the calls for a pause in the conflict with assurances that there were no red lines the Israeli government could cross that would result in
them pulling aid. The Biden administration also claimed a ceasefire would “benefit Hamas.”
“A ceasefire, right now, really only benefits Hamas,” White House spokesman John Kirby said in late October. “It is ugly and it’s going to be messy, and innocent civilians are going to be hurt going forward,” he said of Israel’s operation.
Furthermore, it has
been reported that Biden administrations were worried that a ceasefire would give journalists an opportunity to enter Gaza and document
the destruction there which could “turn public opinion on Israel.”
