WASHINGTON (AA) — The Pentagon said on Thursday that it does not endorse a cease-fire in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas.
"We do not support a cease-fire in that that gives time for Hamas to regroup, which is something that would put Israeli citizens and others in danger," spokesman Pat Ryder said at a press briefing.
He said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was "advocating for potentially a humanitarian pause."
