President Joe Biden has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza, calling it a “mistake.” In an interview with Univision, Biden expressed disagreement with Netanyahu’s approach and urged for a ceasefire, emphasizing the need for total access to food and medicine in Gaza.
Biden’s comments come amid mounting international criticism of Israel’s military assault on Gaza, which has led to significant casualties and humanitarian concerns. The U.S. has traditionally been a staunch supporter of Israel but has recently taken a more critical stance, including abstaining from a UN Security Council vote demanding an immediate ceasefire.
