Israel-Gaza strikes rage on despite Biden urging for ceasefire

JOE Biden expressed support for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas during a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. The call comes after violence intensified over the weekend, with Israel carrying out an airstrike Sunday that killed at least 42 people. “The President reiterated his firm support for Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks,“ a statement from the White House said.
