Biden administration officials have repeatedly said they do not support a total ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, even as the humanitarian situation for Palestinian civilians deteriorates.
A ceasefire is a political process rather than simply a humanitarian one and it urges parties to come together to find a political solution to the conflict.
The G7 foreign ministers announced their support for "humanitarian pauses" in Israel's war in Gaza but declined to call for a complete ceasefire after they met in Tokyo on Wednesday.
One month ago, Hamas terrorists slaughtered roughly 1,400 Israelis, the overwhelming majority of whom were civilians, in the worst terror attack in the Jewish state's 75-year existence.
