"Biden Urges Israel to Change Tactics in Gaza to Maintain Global Support"

President Biden criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct of the war on Hamas in Gaza, stating that the indiscriminate bombing is costing Israel support worldwide. Biden expressed concern for the growing number of civilian casualties and pushed for a humanitarian pause to allow the release of Israeli hostages and the delivery of aid to Gaza. Netanyahu, under pressure from Israel's right wing, rejected U.S. proposals and stated that Gaza would remain under Israeli military control. The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly for a second time to demand a cease-fire, with the United States and Israel opposing it. Conditions in Gaza are dire, with food and aid scarce, and reports of alleged shootings and detentions of aid workers.
