"Netanyahu Praises Biden's Clarity Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that President Joe Biden displayed no signs of diminished mental capacity during their interactions around Oct. 7, amid accusations from a special counsel. Thousands protested in Morocco against ties with Israel and denounced "genocide" in Gaza. U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes near Yemen, and tensions between Biden and Netanyahu are rising, with Biden's aides urging him to be more critical of Netanyahu's military operation in Gaza. Egypt is reportedly prepared to allow an Israeli invasion of Rafah, drawing concern from UNICEF and the U.N. about protecting civilians in the densely populated city.
