Israel-Hamas war – live updates
Joe Biden has issued his harshest words yet on Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, warning the government of Benjamin Netanyahu that its indiscriminate bombing of the Palestinian territory was beginning to alienate the international community.
“They’re starting to lose that support,” the US president told a fundraising event in Washington on Tuesday. In an indication of a possible shift in tone from the White House, Biden went on to call on Netanyahu to change his hardline government, Reuters reported, though separate reports suggested he also said that US commitment to Israel was “unshakable”.
