US president urges Israel to push for a ceasefire ‘for the next six, eight weeks’
“I think what he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach,” Mr Biden said in comments to Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network, offering further criticism of Israel ’s handling of the conflict.
US president Joe Biden has criticised Binyamin Netanyahu's actions in Gaza, calling an Israeli strike that killed seven aid workers"outrageous." The United States has traditionally shielded Israel in the UN security council and vetoed three draft resolutions on the war in Gaza. It abstained last month when the council demanded an immediate ceasefire.
He added that American and Israeli officials remained in contact to try to ensure that “any kind of major military operation doesn’t do real harm to civilians”.The city is filled with around 1.4 million Palestinians, most of whom are displaced from other parts of the Gaza Strip. Israel said 468 aid trucks were moved into Gaza on Tuesday, the highest since the conflict began. That followed 419 on Monday.
