US President Joe Biden spoke on the phone earlier today with Oman Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said to discuss the Israel-Hamas war.

“The two leaders discussed the latest developments in Gaza and the importance of sustained humanitarian access and the importance of protecting civilians, consistent with international humanitarian law, as Israel responds to Hamas’s heinous terrorist attack on October 7,” the White House says.

“They emphasized the importance of deterring threats from any state or non-state actor seeking to expand the conflict and of working towards a durable and sustained peace in the Middle East, to include the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
