After his 45-minute call with US President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu releases a video saying that the two leaders discussed “Israel’s commitment to achieving all the goals of the war: the elimination of Hamas, the release of all our hostages, and the promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”
Netanyahu stresses that Israel will provide to Gazans “the necessary humanitarian aid that helps achieve these goals.”
