Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says that during his phone call today with US President Joe Biden, the Israeli leader “voiced his appreciation for the US’s position in the Security Council,” referring to Washington’s prevention of a binding UN call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Netanyahu “clarified that Israel will continue the war until all of its goals are achieved,” which include toppling the Hamas terror group and bringing home the hostages being held by Palestinian terrorists in the Strip.

The White House has not yet released its readout from the call.
