Biden, Netanyahu discuss latest in effort to reach an Israel-Hamas war ceasefire

The Hindu  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden spoke Sunday about efforts to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the Israel-Hamas war, a sign of the intensifying push to reach a deal before Donald Trump’s inauguration next week. Sunday’s call between Mr. Biden and Mr. Netanyahu came as the head of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence agency, David Barnea, and Mr. Biden’s top Mideast adviser, Brett McGurk, were both in the Qatari capital Doha. “Yet being very close still means we’re far because until you actually get across the finish line, we’re not there.” The White House and Mr. Netanyahu’s office both confirmed the phone call between the two leaders without providing details. Hamas has insisted on a full Israeli troop withdrawal from the largely devastated territory, but Mr. Netanyahu has insisted on destroying Hamas’ ability to fight in Gaza.
