The report follows a telephone conversation between Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which Biden called for the first time since the beginning of the operation to reach a ceasefire.

The President of the United States added that he wants Israel to make every possible effort to avoid harming civilians in Gaza.

So far, Biden has shown no signs of increasing public pressure on Israel, despite calls from some members of the Democratic Party to increase involvement in ending the fighting in which ten Israelis and 200 Palestinians were killed, including dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives, in addition to dozens of children and women.



Last night, Foreign Minister Anthony Blinken said that Israel had not presented any evidence that Hamas had operated from the communications tower that attacked the Gaza Strip last Saturday.

Blinkan said he had asked Israel for justifications for the high-rise collapse, which the IDF claimed had served the organization as an intelligence headquarters.
