Biden Praises Killing of Sinwar in Berlin as Western Leaders Renew Calls for Ceasefire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden has arrived in Berlin for talks with Western leaders.
During brief remarks after a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz,
Biden said his trip was aimed at ensuring that NATO remains strong and
that Ukraine prevails in its war against Russian occupation. Biden also
hailed Israel's killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Biden's final trip
to Europe as president comes as several European lawmakers have called
for sanctions against Israel over its bloody assaults on Gaza and
Lebanon.
