President Joe Biden wrapped up brief remarks at the White House on Monday saying he needed to get to the Situation Room.
At the conclusion of a six-minute speech about Bidenomics, the president said, “I apologize. I have to go to the Situation Room. I have another issue that I have to deal with.”
As Biden was leaving a reporter shouted, “Is the U.S. supporting the hostages for ceasefire deal?”
The president responded, “We should have a ceasefire. Not a ceasefire. We should have those hostages released, and then we can talk.”
The Situation Room is a crisis/intelligence management center located beneath the West Wing of the White House.
“It’s where U.S. presidents and their top aides hold calls with foreign leaders, receive and digest classified information, and watch intelligence feeds showing history unfolding in real-time,” according to CNN.
The New York Times reported Monday that the Biden administration is pushing Israel to delay its expected ground operation into the Gaza Strip aimed at eradicating Hamas terrorists.
