Kirby reiterates that the first step must be taken by Hamas by releasing all hostages

MADRID, 24 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesman for the United States Security Council, John Kirby, has assured that the US Government does not believe that it is time to establish a ceasefire between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel.

"(Hamas) has to release all the hostages. We are not talking about a ceasefire right now; in fact, we do not believe it is time for a ceasefire. Israel has the right to defend itself. They still have work to do to persecute the Hamas leaders, we are going to continue supporting them or giving them more security assistance," Kirby told the US network CNN.

"I think the message was quite clear for Hamas: free all the hostages, that must be the first step," the spokesman reiterated.

Hamas has already freed a total of four people of the 220 hostages, according to data from Israeli authorities.

It should be noted that last week the United States (along with France, Japan and the United Kingdom) rejected a resolution proposed by Russia before the UN Security Council in which it requested a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for not condemning Hamas. and not to mention International Humanitarian Law.
