Biden, Netanyahu discuss ongoing negotiations on Gaza ceasefire

US President Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ongoing negotiations on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the White House press service said in a statement.

The document says the US and Israeli leaders "discussed developments in Gaza and the ongoing negotiations on the ceasefire and hostage release deal in detail."

"President Biden expressed the need to close the remaining gaps, finalize the deal as soon as possible, bring the hostages home, and reach a durable end to the war in Gaza," the White House said.

He also raised the issue of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stressing the need to remove any obstacles to the flow of aid to the Palestinian enclave, and noting the critical importance of protecting civilian lives during the military operation.

Netanyahu travelled to the US capital on July 22 and addressed the US Congress on July 24. On Thursday, he met with US Vice President Kamala Harris. Former US President Donald Trump said he would meet with Netanyahu in Florida on July 26.
