Biden to convene meeting after death of Israeli-American hostage
President Biden will meet with top officials following the murder of American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages by Hamas. The Situation Room meeting will include the president, vice president, and members of the U-S hostage deal negotiating team. They will discuss efforts to drive toward a deal that secures the release of the remaining hostages. Several Democratic lawmakers have renewed calls for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire, while some Republicans are criticizing the president and vice president for not giving stronger support to Israel.
