Netanyahu, Biden hold latest phone call about war

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has again spoken on the phone with US President Joe Biden about the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas war.

No details are immediately available from the call.

Earlier, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN that Biden would stress “the need for the IDF to make every possible effort to distinguish between terrorists and Palestinian civilians during the ground operation in Gaza.”

“There have been deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians in this conflict and that is an absolute tragedy,” Sullivan said. “Those people did not deserve to die. Those people deserve to live lives of peace and safety and dignity.”
