JAKARTA - United States (US) President Joe Biden asked Hamas to accept the agreement offered by Israel.

Israel has submitted their proposal. Hamas said they wanted a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove that they are serious," Biden said via Instagram @potus, Saturday, June 1.

"Hamas needs to accept the deal," said Biden.

The Israeli government will not stop the war in Gaza even if Hamas released all hostages on October 7 last year, National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi said.

Hanegbi's statement appeared during a meeting with the Israeli hostage family.

He said the "phase one" agreement for the release of the hostages, was classified under humanitarian reasons, and could soon be reached, according to the broadcaster Channel 12 and the Daily Times of Israel.

However, Hanegbi reportedly told the hostages' families that "This government will not make a decision to stop the war in exchange for the release of hostages."

He is also reportedly aware of a lack of alternative plans if the hostages are not returned within a specified period of time.
