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