"Biden Disagrees with Netanyahu's Approach to Israel-Hamas Conflict"

President Biden criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war against Hamas, calling it "a mistake" and urging a cease-fire for up to two months to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Amid mounting pressure, Israel has withdrawn some forces from southern Gaza, but Netanyahu vows to continue the mission to "destroy Hamas." The U.S. is working with regional partners on a cease-fire and the release of hostages, while warning that failing to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza could lead to more violence and terrorism in the future.
