President Joe Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the call.
The call took place just days after Biden signed into law an aid package that includes $26 billion for Israel. The package also includes nearly $61 billion in aid to Ukraine and $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific.
In a phone call between the two earlier this month, Biden told Netanyahu that the overall humanitarian situation in Gaza is unacceptable and warned Israel to take steps to address the crisis or face consequences — a stark statement from Israel’s staunchest ally.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
