In a recent phone call, President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the attacks on humanitarian workers in the Gaza Strip. The conversation came after an Israeli bombing killed seven workers from the NGO World Central Kitchen, including American nationals. During the call, Biden emphasized the importance of addressing civilian harm and ensuring the safety of humanitarian workers in the region.
The President made it clear that US policy towards the Gaza Strip was dependent on Israel taking action to improve the humanitarian situation. He called for specific, concrete, and measurable measures to be implemented by Israel to address these concerns. Biden also urged for an immediate ceasefire to protect innocent civilians and facilitate the return of hostages captured by Hamas.
The incident involving the NGO workers sparked international outrage, as individuals from multiple nationalities were involved. Israel has promised to conduct an investigation into the bombing, and Biden expressed solidarity with Israel against threats from Iran following an attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus. The President also offered support in response to these threats.
During their conversation, Biden and Netanyahu discussed various other topics related to the region. Despite these discussions, a range of unrelated content about a service center and various businesses in Ukraine is included at the end of this rewritten article.
