We are going to start with what happened yesterday.
President Biden said Israel needs to be more careful
when it comes to civilian deaths in its war
with Hamas Biden previously criticized what he called indiscriminate
bombing in Gaza saying Israel risks losing international support.
Here's more from the president.
Do you want Israel to scale back its assault on Gaza in by the end of the year?
Do you want them to tone it down? Move to a lower intensity phase?
I want them to be focused on how to save civilian lives,
not stop going after a mosque but be more careful.
Now, according to CBS us,
officials have been told the current phase of the war will end in the next 2 to 3 weeks
ushering in a period of more targeted strikes in Gaza.
Israel's President Isaac Herzog
seemed to echo this in an interview yesterday saying he sees
an end to some operations in the next several weeks.
President Biden's national security adviser remains in Israel today
at a press conference,
Jake Sullivan reiterated us support for a two
state solution following the acute phase of war.
However,
Herzog cautioned against saying two state solution Sullivan
is set to meet with Palestinian Authority,
President Mahmoud Abbas today.
