Biden says Netanyahu’s approach to war in Gaza is a ‘mistake’

Mr Biden has previously called Israel’s bombing in Gaza “indiscriminate” and its military actions “over the top”.

“I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach,” Mr Biden said in comments to Univision, a US Spanish-language TV network. The White House said last week that the President, in a call with Mr Netanyahu, threatened to make conditional US support for Israel’s offensive on it taking concrete steps to protect aid workers and civilians.

"What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks, total access to all food and medicine going into the country," Mr Biden said in the interview on April 9.
