Biden and Netanyahu Discuss Gaza Ceasefire

US President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday to discuss the prospects of a possible cease-fire in Gaza.

Biden has been urging Netanyahu to protect Gaza civilians and has expressed concern about the rising death toll.

Netanyahu has said he is committed to ending the violence, but has also said that he will not tolerate Hamas rocket attacks on Israel.

The conversation between Biden and Netanyahu came as the death toll in Gaza climbed to over 200, including dozens of children.

The Biden administration has been criticized by some for not doing more to stop the violence in Gaza. However, the administration has said that it is working behind the scenes to try to broker a cease-fire.
