Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to Jordan’s King Abdullah II by phone Thursday, stressing U.S. support of a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas after more than a week of violence.
President Biden didn’t speak with King Abdullah but called Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, pledging support of a cease-fire. Biden said he spoke with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu six times in recent days and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas more than once, urging an end to the violence. "Prime Minister Netanyahu informed me that Israel has agreed to a mutual, unconditional ceasefire to begin in less than two hours," Biden said at the White House on Thursday. "The Egyptians have now informed us that Hamas and the other groups in Gaza have also agreed."More Related News
