Shri Thanedar Calls for a 72 Hour Humanitarian Pause | 2023-11-07 | 2023 | 2023-11 | Democrat | House | MI | Shri Thanedar | T000488 | thanedar.house.gov | thanedar | https://thanedar.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – November 7, 2023 – Today, I am calling on Israel to institute a 72-hour humanitarian pause to negotiate the release of the hostages held by Hamas and the surrender of Hamas leaders responsible for the October 7 attack. During this pause, President Biden should appoint a chief negotiator to bring all parties to the table. I can think of no one better than former President Barack Obama to lead these efforts. If, at the end of 72 hours, no sufficient progress has been made, Israel should resume its military operations with the goal of destroying Hamas while minimizing civilian casualties. “There can be no question about Israel’s right to defend itself in the face of terrorist aggression. By calling for this humanitarian pause, however, we recognize that our ultimate goal is peace and safety for all innocent parties caught up in this conflict. If Israel extends this olive branch, it is essential that Hamas respond and show they are willing to do their part to de-escalate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
