Israel does not want ceasefire in Gaza, Erdogan tells Biden
Turkey’s President Erdogan told his US counterpart Biden that Israel does not want a ceasefire in Gaza, adding that Haniyeh’s killing “dealt a heavy blow” to ceasefire efforts.
Erdogan added that Netanyahu’s government has shown “at every step” that it does not want a ceasefire, and his recent address to the US Congress prompted “deep disappointment” in Turkey and the world.
Biden pledges continued support for Israel
In a call with Netanyahu, Biden has pledged the US’s continued support for Israel as concerns grow of an escalating conflict with Hezbollah and other groups in the region, even as critics say the US should be using its leverage to bring the war in Gaza to an end.
A readout released by the White House says Kamala Harris also joined the call.
