US President Joe Biden warned today of a "very, very dangerous" situation if no ceasefire is achieved by Ramadan.

Biden also informed "Israel" that there were "no excuses" for not allowing more aid into Gaza which is on the verge of famine. 

"It's in the hands of Hamas right now," Biden declared to reporters as he flew back to the White House from the Camp David presidential retreat in the hills of Maryland.

"The Israelis have been cooperating, the offer (of a ceasefire) is rational. We'll know in a couple of days. But we need the ceasefire," he added.

He stressed that "There's got to be a ceasefire because Ramadan -- if we get into circumstances where this continues to Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous."

Amid an alleged US frustration with Netanyahu's refusal to agree to a ceasefire and allow aid into Gaza, when asked if he is urging "Israel" to permit aid into Gaza, Biden claimed "I'm working with them very hard," adding "We must get more aid into Gaza. There's no excuses, none."

Osama Hamdan, a member of the Hamas political bureau, stated on Tuesday that Hamas will only consent to swap captives with "Israel" if a ceasefire is achieved.

"Any hostage captives is only possible after a ceasefire and all our conditions are met," Hamdan told a briefing.

He said that Hamas has stated its stance on the plan made by the Egyptian and Qatari mediators, with the organization calling for the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

A ceasefire is still possible: Blinken

The Qatari Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, stressed that the current situation is "unprecedented" adding that chaos has taken over Gaza, Syria, and the Red Sea. 

In a Washington meeting with his US counterpart, Antony Blinken, the minister stated that Doha urges the release of all detainees in Gaza and the delivery of aid to its population. 

From his end, Blinken stated that there is a possibility of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza which will in turn pave the way for the delivery of more humanitarian aid emphasizing that the current situation in Gaza is "unacceptable."
