Washington, September 6 (RHC)-- The families of American captives currently being held in the besieged Gaza Strip by Palestinian resistance groups have called for the U.S. to consider cutting a unilateral deal to secure the release of their loved ones.

In a recent meeting with officials in Washington, DC, the relatives of U.S. citizens still in captivity urged the administration of President Joe Biden to evaluate options that do not include Israel. 

The family members and some administration officials believe Netanyahu will not commit to an agreement with Hamas which would see the release of the remaining captives in exchange for a ceasefire in the besieged Palestinian territory.

One political observer noted that it was very interesting that the families would call on Biden to go around Israel -- clearly demonstrating that it is Washington -- even more so than Tel Aviv -- that is carrying out the genocide.

The United Nations Security Council has expressed outrage over the lack of progress in a ceasefire aimed at terminating Israel’s months-long genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Several U.S. officials told The New York Times this week that Netanyahu is "seeking to run out the clock until the American election" to secure a ceasefire deal that would release the remaining captives held in Gaza.

They also suggested that Netanyahu might face less pressure to make concessions for an agreement if Republican nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump wins the presidential election in November.
