Biden Criticizes Israel's 'Indiscriminate Bombing' of Gaza, Calls for Change

President Biden expressed concern over Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza, stating that it was causing Israel to lose international support. He urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to change his government and criticized the presence of far-right Israeli leader Itamar Ben-Gvir in the security cabinet. Biden emphasized the need for Israel to take on Hamas but also called for more efforts to protect civilians. The comments prompted responses from both the Israeli military and Hamas. The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly supported a nonbinding resolution for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire, while the U.S. previously vetoed a similar measure at the U.N. Security Council.
