News - Middle East: US President Joe Biden has sharply criticized Israel's handling of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, describing as a "mistake" Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach to the war in the besieged territory.

Biden made the remarks in an interview with American Spanish-language Univision television network on Tuesday.
“Well, I will tell you, I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach,” he said.
The US president noted that he has called on Israel to agree to a ceasefire, stressing that there is “no excuse” for not sending in humanitarian aid. 
“What I'm calling for is for the Israelis to just call for a ceasefire and allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into” Gaza, Biden said.
