“He (Biden) made it clear that Israel must announce and implement a series of specific, concrete and verifiable steps to prevent civilian harm, human suffering and [jāgādā] for the safety of aid workers,” the White House said in a statement released after the phone call between Biden and Netanyahu.
Biden also told Netanyahu that “an immediate cease-fire is essential” and called on Israel to reach an agreement “without delay.”
On October 7 of last year, terrorists killed about 1,160 people, mostly civilians, and took about 250 hostages in Israel in the massacre organized by the Palestinian terrorist group “Hamas”.
In response to the October 7 massacre, Israel expressed its determination to destroy “Hamas” and launched a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Authorities in the terrorist-controlled Gaza Strip claim that at least 33,000 people have been killed in the fighting in the Gaza Strip, but these figures are believed to be greatly exaggerated given the disinformation so far spread by Hamas. In addition, a large number of those killed are fighters of Islamist groups.

It should also be noted that not all dead Palestinians are victims of Israeli fire. Missing rockets fired by terrorists at Israel kill many. There have also been reports of cases where militants have opened fire on civilians who do not want to submit to the terrorists’ demands and play the role of human shields.
The number of civilians killed is neither 30,000 nor even 20,000. It is much lower, Netanyahu previously stated, adding that 13,000 terrorists were eliminated at the same time.
But in an election year, Biden is facing increasing pressure from various groups of Democratic voters, from left-wing extremists to Muslims, who are demanding an end to traditional military and political support for Israel.
