US President Joe Biden asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday for Israel to act to calm down the northern front in the war during the planned four-day ceasefire, according to Channel 13 news.

Quoting an unnamed source familiar with details of the phone call, the network says Netanyahu didn’t make a promise on the matter.

The issue may come up during tonight’s meeting of the war cabinet, which is convening right now.
