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

HeadlineApr 10, 2024

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.
