Israel-Gaza Conflict: US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the phone. During this, Israel's intention to open more crossings in northern Gaza was discussed. So that humanitarian aid can increase in the area. Israel is preparing to completely open the crossing to allow access to northern Gaza. Opening more crossings is considered vital to ensure continued aid access to Gaza, and amid fears of famine. Additionally, these become even more important if Israel moves forward with the attack on Rafah. Because it could isolate the existing humanitarian center from the rest of Gaza.

The White House readout also said the two leaders discussed a possible Israeli attack in Rafah and President Biden reiterated his stance. The US has made it clear that it cannot support any operation that fails to guarantee the full protection of the more than 1 million Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city.

Emphasis on increasing aid in Gaza

Additionally, US officials have consistently expressed their opposition to a significant operation in Rafah. Regarding recent improvements in the flow of aid to Gaza, Biden stressed the need to maintain and expand this progress in full coordination with humanitarian organizations on the call.

Seven workers of World Central Kitchen died

Throughout the conflict, the safety of workers has been a controversial issue, particularly after an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen workers. Since then, Israel has expanded some of its mechanisms to de-escalate the conflict. According to the report, during their call, Biden acknowledged recent improvements in aid delivery to Gaza, but the US maintained its stance that Tel Aviv should further increase its efforts in this regard.

Discussion on ceasefire and release of hostages

The two leaders also reviewed the ongoing talks to ensure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as well as the release of hostages. According to a White House readout, the president cited his statement along with 17 other world leaders in demanding that Hamas release its citizens without delay to ensure a ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza. In talks with Netanyahu, President Biden reaffirmed his strong commitment to Israel's security following its successful defense against Iran's unprecedented missile and drone attacks earlier this month.
