On July 25, local time, John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said that President Biden will emphasize to the Israeli Prime Minister during his meeting that a ceasefire agreement in Gaza needs to be reached "as soon as possible." There is still a gap between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to reach a ceasefire agreement, but the United States believes that this gap can be bridged through efforts.

In response to a question about whether Biden would cancel the order to suspend the supply of 2,000 pounds (about 907 kg) of bombs to Israel, Kirby said that the policy has not changed at present, and this is the only batch of weapons that have been detained. All military security assistance will continue to be shipped to Israel, and they are still obtaining the tools, capabilities and weapons needed for war. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
