The White House on Thursday said it was exploring a series of pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to help people safely exit Gaza and allow humanitarian aid to get in, but reiterated its opposition to a full ceasefire.

National security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that such pauses should be temporary and localized, and insisted they would not stop Israel from defending itself.

“What we’re trying to do is explore the idea of as many pauses as might be necessary to continue to get aid out and to continue to work to get people out safely, including hostages,” he told reporters at a regular White House briefing.

    There’s three options for people.

    1. Actively vote for helping with ethnic cleansing

    2. Actively vote for even worse ethnic cleansing

    3. Actively do something else, with the end result being either ethnic cleansing or worse ethnic cleansing

    There’s really nothing else we can do for the elections.
