Biden discusses Gaza with Netanyahu

President Biden has told the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that as Israel continues its military campaign in Gaza, there's a critical need to protect the civilian population, including those supporting aid operations. The White House said that in a phone call between the two men, Mr Biden also stressed the importance of allowing civilians to move safely away from areas where there's fighting. Mr Netanyahu's office said he made it clear that Israel would continue the war until its objectives had been achieved.
