Biden: Israel Should "Just Call for a Ceasefire"; Netanyahu Is Making a "Mistake" in Gaza
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden has leveled some of his harshest criticism of Israel yet
as the death toll in Gaza nears 33,500. In an interview with Univision,
Biden directly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
Israel's killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen last
week.

President Joe Biden: "I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't
agree with his approach. I think it's outrageous that those four - or,
three vehicles were hit by drones and taken out on a highway, where it
wasn't like it was along the shore. It wasn't like it was a convoy
moving there, etc. So, what I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just
call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks a total access
to all food and medicine going into the country."

Biden's comments were made a week ago but only aired on Univision on
Tuesday.
