Speaking on Network Univision television broadcasting in Spanish, President Biden said what Netanyahu is doing is wrong and that he does not agree with the methods he is using. ''I don't agree with the methods he uses. So I call on Israel to stop fighting and allow the delivery of food aid and medicine to Gaza, in the next six or eight weeks. I have spoken to everyone from the leaders of Saudi Arabia to Jordan and Egypt. They are ready to deliver food there. and I think there is no excuse not to send medicine and food to those people. It should be done now,'' insisted Biden.

stressing about the recent change in his position, in the interview conducted on April 3, two days after Israel attacked seven aid workers in Gaza, and published on Tuesday night, Biden said that Israel should also allow other countriesin the region to help distribute aid.At the same time, Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has said that there is still no official date planned for ground attacks in Rafah. That is according to the media reports of Axios, Haaretz and The Times of Israel. speaking with his fellow American minister, Lloyd Austin, Gallant said that Israel is still in the process of planning to remove citizens.

if Gallant's statement is confirmed, it will contradict the previous statement of Netanyahu who has repeatedly said that the Rafah attacks will continue despite international criticism. Netanyahu, who is facing pressure from far-right supporters, had announced the end of the planned offensive in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians have fled.
Blinken has said that the United States has been opposing Israel's plans to carry out large-scale attacks, saying it will put civilian lives at risk. US officials expect to meet with an Israeli delegation next week to discuss the decision.
While this is happening, the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, has warned that the way Israel handles the war against Hamas in Gaza can destabilize the Middle East region, and that it is a threat to the whole world. speaking on Wednesday in the parliament, Sanchez said that the recognition of the Palestinian state is for the "geographical interests of Europe." He said that the international community cannot help the Palestinian state, if it cannot recognize its existence.
on the other hand, the supreme religious leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has emphasized the promise of revenge against Israel due to the killing of Iranian generals in Syria. He made these remarks on Wednesday during the Eid al-Fitr prayer, saying that the airstrike that destroyed the Iranian consulate in Syria earlier this month was a mistake, and it is right to attack on Iranian soil
