Biden,Netanyahu,Gaza Conflict

US President Joe Biden expresses his disagreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza, calling it a mistake.

The rubble of destroyed houses as Palestinians return to Khan Younis after the Israel i military pulled out troops from the southern Gaza Strip, on April 9.

“I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach,” Mr Biden said in comments to Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network. The White House said last week that the President, in a call with Mr Netanyahu, threatened to make conditional US support for Israel’s offensive on it taking concrete steps to protect aid workers and civilians.

"What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country," Mr Biden said in the interview on April 9.
