As Joe Biden was speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, senior Biden administration officials were talking down Netanyahu and Israel in leaks to the media.
Israel said over the weekend its special forces had recovered the body of a hostage killed while being held captive in Gaza by terrorist organization Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Sunday that it had withdrawn its forces from southern Gaza, following a demand from President Joe Biden last week for an “immediate ceasefire.”
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) passed a non-binding resolution calling for Israel to be held accountable for alleged war crimes in the Gaza Strip.
