Watch again as Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby held the daily White House press briefing on Tuesday, 24 October 2023.

It comes after president Joe Biden said that Hamas should release the hostages it kidnapped in its deadly attack on Israel before any ceasefire in Gaza is agreed upon.

Mr Biden made the remarks at an event on Monday, 23 October 2023, in response to a question from Andrew Feinberg, The Independent’s White House correspondent.
