He said West Bank settlers’ attacks on Palestinians ‘has to stop now’.Joe Biden has called for an immediate end to Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, as Israel kept up its strikes on Gaza in preparation for a long promised ground invasion.
“They’re attacking Palestinians in places that they are entitled to be, and … it has to stop now.”More than 6,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and there are fears the toll could further soar if Israel pushes ahead with a widely expected ground invasion.“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s a price of waging war,” he said.
On Wednesday the World Health Organization called for Hamas to provide proof of life of the hostages it is holding and release them all on health grounds. With the security council deadlocked, the broader UN general assembly is scheduled to debate the war on Thursday and Friday.
