During their meeting on Thursday, US President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move quickly to complete an agreement on a truce in Gaza and the release of hostages. “President Biden expressed the need to close the remaining gaps, finalize the deal as soon as possible, bring the hostages home, and reach a durable end to the war in Gaza,” according to a White House readout, which added they discussed the “humanitarian crisis” in the embattled Palestinian territory and the need to remove obstacles to the flow of aid.
