Hostages ‘struggle to survive’ amid Israeli bombing | Biden urges Netanyahu to temporarily cease war

Hamas said the situation in Gaza had worsened as a result of the Israeli attack, with hostages “struggling to survive.” Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida added that the situation was caused by Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden recently pushed for a temporary ceasefire in extensive talks with the Israeli Prime Minister. The United States has urged Israel to suspend humanitarian operations to release hostages still held by Hamas. Biden has repeatedly told Netanyahu not to take military action in Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians.
