"White House Urges Swift End to Israel-Gaza War as IDF Suspends Soldiers for Mosque Disrespect"

The White House has expressed its desire for Israel's war in Gaza to end as soon as possible, but clarified that it is not dictating a timeline for the fighting to Israel. President Joe Biden emphasized the need for Israel to focus on saving civilian lives while continuing to target Hamas. The US has also advised Israel to transition to a more targeted offensive in Gaza within three weeks or sooner. The Biden administration reaffirmed its commitment to a two-state solution and a reformed Palestinian Authority. Meanwhile, telecommunication services have been cut off in Gaza, hindering emergency services, and Palestinians are facing extreme hunger and food shortages. In a separate development, four people were arrested in Germany and the Netherlands on suspicion of being part of a cross-border Hamas terror plot targeting Jewish institutions in Europe.
