White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday afternoon is slated to hold a press briefing.
President Biden on Monday spoke with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterating his concerns during the conversation about an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah, as Israel appeared poise to move forward with such an operation.
Biden “updated the Prime Minister on efforts to secure a hostage deal, including through ongoing talks today in Doha, Qatar,” the White House said in a readout of the call.
Hamas reportedly accepted a U.S.-brokered ceasefire proposal on Monday, which could bring an extended pause to fighting in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages.
The event is scheduled to begin at 2:15 p.m. EDT.
