President Joe Biden faced criticism from a female rabbi during a private fundraiser in Minnesota on Wednesday. The rabbi demanded to know why Biden had not called for a ceasefire in Gaza. Biden defended his decision, insisting he wanted a 'pause' to allow for the safe evacuation of 'prisoners' in Gaza. The president referred to both the hostages held by Hamas and the people living in the enclave who are unable to leave. Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, a progressive activist, interrupted Biden's speech, urging him to call for an immediate ceasefire. Despite growing pressure, the White House continues to support a 'pause' instead of a total cessation of hostilities in the conflict.
