Late last week, the US announced its army would build a pier to bring aid to civilians in Gaza, with food short and relief groups warning of famine amid Israel's assault.
The almost-daily phone calls stopped months ago. Now the tensions between Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's war on Hamas have burst into the open as the two leaders bicker publicly.
Late last week, the US announced its army would build a pier to bring aid to civilians in Gaza, with food short and relief groups warning of famine amid Israel's assault. Biden demanded the Israeli leader "pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost," warning that "he is hurting Israel more than helping Israel."
Netanyahu fired back the next day. "He's wrong on both counts," he said in an interview with Politico parent Axel Springer.
