Late Monday, Reuters came out with the news suggesting US President Joe Biden pushes for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
“Biden is facing growing pressure from lawmakers in his own Democratic Party to play a more vocal role, but U.S. officials say he and his team have opted for a quieter effort, talking with Israeli officials and U.S. allies in the Arab world,” said the news.
The report also mentioned, “The Biden administration has privately blamed the administration of Republican former President Donald Trump for breaking off communications with the Palestinian Authority in its zeal for a pro-Israel policy, believing that has contributed to instability.”
The news signals that President Biden, in a call with Israel PM Netanyahu, reaffirms the Middle East nation’s right to defend itself.
