"Biden Urges Netanyahu to Protect Rafah Civilians Amid Hostage Talks"

U.S. President Joe Biden has once again cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against military action in Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians, amid growing international pressure for restraint. The call also addressed ongoing hostage negotiations, with Biden pledging to work towards freeing hostages held by Hamas. Israeli forces' raid on a Gaza hospital has raised concerns over the safety of patients and displaced Palestinians, as the conflict continues to escalate, resulting in a high civilian death toll and mass displacement.
