US President Joe Biden told reporters that he asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare a humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip during a phone call on November 6. But Biden didn’t say what the answer was. This was reported by axios referring to officials of the two states.
“Biden asked Netanyahu for a pause during Monday’s phone call,” the White House press pool reported.
Democratic representatives in the US Senate on Tuesday blocked Republicans’ attempt to quickly pass emergency aid legislation for Israel that passed the House last week but did not provide any aid to Ukraine.
Democrats explained their stance by saying that the distribution of aid to Ukraine, the United States’ most important ally, should not be delayed under any circumstances. They also accused Republicans of political intrigue, which led to a slowdown in aid not only to Ukraine but also to Israel. That’s why Democrats said they are preparing their own bill for additional funding and expect to introduce it this week.
