President Biden expresses support for a ceasefire as intensifying violence between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza enters a second week

During a telephone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden"expressed his support for a ceasefire and discussed US engagement with Egypt and other partners towards that end," a White House description of the call read. It was the first time the White House officially made mention of a ceasefire in its ongoing efforts to contain the situation.

Biden has so far shown few signs he is bending to pressure from his party. A longtime supporter of Israel, his politics do not appear to be shifting even as progressives in his party are pushing for a stronger condemnation of Israel. Asked what Biden's message is to fellow Democrats who have chastised him for not condemning Israeli actions, Psaki said that"sometimes you have to step back from politics for a moment.""It's not easy to do," she said.

wow

Something is a bit.... ASKEW these days. It would be a shame if people were up to the same old bullshit again. That would be awfully sad.

This is just a show off and hypocrisy of American President. In fact, he has been supporting Israel since the inception of that clash between Israel and Palestine.

Step by step palestinians lost yours land through the years same strategy. carrying all problems to hamas terrorists group. Meanwhile West Bank settlers make your work.

Ceasefire won't solve the problem, give Palestine freedom and right to exist. USA: Resolve issue now! STOP THE CARNAGE! where is AC360's keeping them honest. CNN speak the truth, speak for justice. Israel is conducting war crimes, human rights violations. Where's the outrage!

Ceasefire yesterday, end apartheid now.

Y does China joe ignore Iran's influence in this conflict? China joe is hell bent on giving Iran a free pass for this & past terrorist activities. U want peace in the Middle East, u better confront Iran.

JoeBiden your the worst world leader ever supporting Israel to killing innocent women and children of Gaza now you insinuating.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Biden's foreign policies only look at one side and it's almost always the wrong one

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

I mean when you fire missiles first at Israel what do you expect them to do. Take it in the ass? I mean Jews don't take no shit from nobody not since after WWII

STOPP KILLING AMHARA IN ETHIOPIA CNN BRAKE YOUR SILENT STOPP KILLING INNOCENT AMHARA PEOPLE🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

Sounds like Putin . Just ceasefire not a solution not to offend the Israelis. Israel and Hamas Arab ApartheidIsrael PalestineBleedsWorldSleeps BidensAmerica Putin

You don't need to be a Muslim to stand up for Palestine - - - - - - - You just need to be human. All United for free Palestine freepalestine ❤

What is a Cease Fire? Like a temporary deferment of legitimacy to the Conflict? It is nt an outright realisation of hollowness of bloodbath. Instinct needs to be blamed. No one has eternal life on earth. No one owns life of others, not even of own. Israel Palestinian USA UN

Israel should keep fighting against terrorists organizations Hamas / jihad cuz one day it will spread to the whole world !!! And everyone will be sorry !

Long live israel . Such a moral country 🇮🇱💪🏼 Israel is fighting against Hamas terrorist organizations not civilians. Remember thatS

This is not violence between Israel and Hamas ...THIS IS A MASACRE AGAINST A DEFENLESS POPULATION!!!! You, cnn are part of the murders!!

Demanding from Israel to stop murdering civilians and children, nurses, doctors and destroying vital (very limited due to blockade) infrastructure, would be a good start.

if every child has right to live why Palestinian children are Under Attack every single day HopeToGaza

Last night in Gaza

Then why did the US veto the UN ceasefire resolution?

One question though: who’s side are you on, Mr. President?

Took your time.

UN OIC_OCI OICatUN free_equal UN_HRC UN_Spokesperson unhrcpr In view of the situation in Masjid al-Aqsa and Palestine, especially in Gaza, an international peace force should be deployed in Al-Quds and a committee of three religions should be formed to manage the city.

Biden a disappointment mouthing same mealy mouth platitudes about “ both sides excercising restraint” If he really wanted peace he could have it in an instant by withholding the $4Billion US taxpayers stump up annually to prop up ongoing Israeli injustice

Then why sell Israel weapons worth 900 million,we can see through this facade...child killer..

What?! How many Hamas militants have died? I'm sure they could have caught them without killing hundreds of innocent people. I feel sorry for decent people in Israel too, I must say. Not everyone is like Netanyahu like not everyone in the US is like DT.

He should call his ally and ask him to stop.

Well stop giving money to Iran or Palestinian which goes to Hummas which buys rockets to bomb. The Trump administration saw this issue which why they stop the flow of cash and no rockets fired during his administration. It’s as simple as that. hummas uses civilians as shields

what useless buffoon. we had peace, bold leadership, and now its a disaster.

DefundIsrael

This is not a scene from movie, this is israel missels on gazza And now this guy sent a 735M deal weabon to Israel to continue killing childern Stop misleading Stop supporting israel Stop killing childern GazzaUnderAttack1

Whilst giving Israel a 700 million worth of rockets last week….like hello?

שקרנים !!! מביע תמיכה בישראל להמשיך את הטיפול באירגון הטרור חמס שמעיפים טילים על ישראל מעל 6000 טילים העיפו על אזרחים בישראל

Selling 756mil weapon to Israel isn't a support of cease fire.....

Poor Bido

Seems they may need more ammo 😚

So.... You want a ceasefire.... but your selling them a LOT of weapons.... Their killing women and Children......but you want to take our guns? Anyone else having problems understanding this?

unless we have a reason to but in that is none of our business.

CNN trying to do damage control for the $735 million Israeli arms deal. charliechester propaganda cnn JamesOKeefe ProjectVeritas

Get stronger; cut off the life line to kill.

But sells more weapons?

Painful scenes: for the Israeli occupation aircraft targeting civilians in Gaza a short while ago, and the rise of a number of martyrs Children and civilians became the bank of the goals of the Zionists God is enough, and yes, the agent

I think at this point everyone wants a cease fire and IsraeliPM out

Baby pop

Stop Israel Genicide

Didn't the administration sign off on the sale of 750 mil worth of weapons to Israel?

Israeli action against Palestinian Resistance movement just as Germans took against Jewish Resistance in Warsaw Ghetto! Palestinians will continue to resist the Jewish occupation, persecution & killing of civilians & children until they are free! CNN POTUS UN EUCouncil ICC

Stop the arms deal. Stop funding Israeli terrorists.

Lads Joe needs to wake the hell up, pull his finger out and demand a ceasefire immediately 🤦‍♀️

Joker has Biden just sold 730million dollars worth of middles too Israelis government

Saying Israel has the right to defend itself is like saying pedophile rapists have the right to force themselves on children because “just look at what kids wear these days”. It is that repulsive. SaveSheikhJarrah GenocideinGaza WeAreAllGodsChosenPeople
