United States President Joe Biden has urged Israel to be cautious in its war with Hamas, as his own country had made mistakes following the 9/11 terror attacks.
The leader of the free world visited Tel Aviv on Wednesday morning to reaffirm Washington's support and to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
President Biden advised Israel to not be"consumed" by rage, as the death toll 12 days into the war left more than 1,400 in Israel and 3,500 in Gaza dead.
