In his conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier today, US President Joe Biden says the US is working “with the United Nations, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and others” in order to ensure civilians have “access to water, food and medical care.”
According to the president’s office, Biden reiterates “the need for all countries to unequivocally condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization that does not represent the aspirations of the Palestinian people.”
Biden and Netanyahu have spoken five times since the war began last Saturday with Hamas’s vicious attack on Israel.
