US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the need to use the ongoing Gaza humanitarian truce to “surge” humanitarian assistance into the enclave, the White House says.
Israel has agreed to allow in at least 200 trucks of aid on each day of the four-day ceasefire in addition to fuel while also ensuring that aid reaches northern Gaza which has been the section most ravaged in the fighting.
Netanyahu also thanked Biden for his efforts to broker and implement the ongoing hostage deal, a White House readout of the call says.
“The two leaders agreed that the work is not yet done and that they will continue working to secure the release of all hostages,” the readout adds, noting that Biden and Netanyahu agreed to remain in close contact over the coming days.
They have spoken on the phone at least 15 times since the war’s outbreak.
