Will Israel listen to Biden's calls to protect Gaza civilians? | DW News

The White House says US President Joe Biden has pressed Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu to protect civilian lives in Gaza.
Biden said he spoke at length with Netanyahu on Saturday about Israel's war against Hamas militants. They reportedly discussed the objectives of the military campaign in Gaza, but the US stopped short of calling for a cease-fire. Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the EU and US.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 200 people have been killed by Israeli forces over the past 24 hours. The violence follows a UN Security Council resolution to boost humanitarian aid.
