Hamas-Israel conflict: call planned between Biden and Netanyahu, three days after the death of humanitarian workers in Gaza. Since the start of the war, 196 aid workers have been killed in Gaza, including 175 from the UN, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Joe Biden has so far refused to impose conditions on American military aid to Israel, and demands that any ceasefire be linked to the release of hostages still held in the small Palestinian territory. The Israeli leader, however, finds himself subject to increased pressure from his own public opinion and faces repeated demonstrations from angry families of hostages.
