TEL AVIV, April 10: US President Joe Biden called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza a mistake and called for his government to flood Gaza with aid, ramping up pressure on Israel to reach a cease-fire and widening a rift between the two staunch allies. “What he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach,” Biden told Spanish-language broadcaster Univision.
He was responding to being asked if Netanyahu is prioritising his political survival over the national interest.
Biden said Israel should agree to cease-fire, flood Gaza with aid for the next six to eight weeks and allow other countries in the region to help distribute the aid. “It should be done now,” he said. (PTI)
