President Joe Biden pushed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take concrete steps to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza in a call between the two leaders on Thursday and urged his counterpart to agree to an “immediate ceasefire” deal with Hamas.
Biden linked continued U.S. support for Israel to Netanyahu’s willingness to take “measurable” steps to reduce civilian casualties after a group of aid workers were killed in an accidental Israeli airstrike while delivering food in Gaza on Monday.
