TL;DR Summary

US President Joe Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel risked losing global support for its war against Hamas due to its "indiscriminate" bombing of Gaza. Biden called on Netanyahu to change his stance on a two-state solution for the Palestinians. Netanyahu expressed disagreement with Biden over the governance of post-conflict Gaza. Biden later toned down his comments, emphasizing the need to support Israel while expressing concern for the safety of innocent Palestinians. He announced that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan would be sent to Israel for discussions. Biden also dismissed Netanyahu's comparisons to Allied forces in World War II and urged Netanyahu to make a tough decision regarding his hard-right government. The US has been calling for Israel to take more care to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza, and there are increasing calls for Biden to take a firmer stand toward Israel.
