US President Joe Biden Speaks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – In a significant development, US President Joe Biden had a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, as reported by CNN.
Assistance for Israel to be Announced
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had earlier declared that Washington would be announcing new assistance for Israel on Sunday. This announcement comes in the wake of Hamas fighters launching attacks on Israeli towns, resulting in one of the bloodiest days in the country’s history on Saturday.
Violence Escalates
The situation in the region has escalated rapidly, with Israel retaliating against Palestinians by launching air strikes on Gaza. Reports suggest that hundreds of lives have been lost on both sides.
