Rep. Ro Khanna discussed in an interview the Biden administration’s push for a six-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, believing it could lead to a permanent ceasefire.
Khanna emphasized the importance of a lasting solution and expressed skepticism about Netanyahu’s willingness to extend the ceasefire beyond six weeks.
“It seems like the Biden theory of the case has been to try to get this six-week ceasefire because they think, once that happens, it will be very difficult for the Israeli military to restart up the military conflict, at least at the same level, after that six weeks period,” co-host Tommy Vietor said.
Are you saying that you don’t necessarily agree with that theory of the case and that we should be reaching for a longer, more durable, more permanent ceasefire right now?”
“I think there’s something to be said for the case, in terms of, obviously, if we can get at least six weeks, before Ramadan, that’s a step. And I agree with your view, having talked to folks in the administration, that they’re hoping, once we get a ceasefire, it can continue to be extended. I don’t have enough faith in Netanyahu that that’s what’s going to happen,” Khanna said.
