#BREAKING Netanyahu announces that if the US doesn't veto the UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire today, he's canceling Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi's White House meetings.
Dermer and Hanegbi's trip to Washington came after Biden asked Netanyahu on the phone last week to send a delegation to discuss alternatives to a major IDF operation in Rafah.
Sources tells me that earlier today, U.S. officials notified Dermer the U.S. plans to allow two separate ceasefire resolutions to pass in the UNSC: one calling for a ceasefire and one calling to release the hostages, without one being a condition of the other.
# BREAKINGThe U.S. abstained and the resolution passed. It's one resolution, which calls for a "lasting" ceasefire and for the release of the hostages, but does not condition one on the other.
