“I think Netanyahu is doing more damage to Israel by forcing the world to oppose [what he is doing in Gaza],” Biden explained in an interview with MSNBC.

Stating that Netanyahu should pay more attention to preventing civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, Biden said: "I want to see a 6-week ceasefire and the beginning of a major prisoner exchange in Gaza." said.

The US President claimed that many Arab leaders, including Saudi Arabia, were ready to compromise with the Zionist regime and said, "We should focus on what will happen after the war."

Biden implicitly described the Zionist regime's possible attack on the city of Rafah, at the southernmost point of the Gaza Strip, as his red line, and said: "I will not abandon Israel and I will not stop providing military equipment to Israel."

Biden continued in his interview with MSNBC: "We cannot witness the deaths of another 30,000 Palestinians in war. The rules of war changed after the saturation bombing in World War II. The laws of war must be respected [in Gaza, too]."

US President Joe Biden, while answering journalists' questions on Friday local time about establishing a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip until Sunday and before the start of the holy month of Ramadan, stated that there is concern that violence will increase if a ceasefire is not reached.

Biden warned Tuesday that the region could become "very dangerous" if a ceasefire is not reached before Ramadan. The US President emphasized this while boarding the presidential plane known as Air Force One at Hagerstown Airport: We need a ceasefire.

Biden called the deal on the table a "reasonable offer" and said the Israelis accepted it. Biden also put the ball in Hamas' court, saying: We need to see what Hamas is doing.

The US president claimed that the Israelis were cooperating and that a ceasefire was necessary.

The occupation regime, Israel, had warned that if the Israeli "hostages" held in Gaza were not released by Ramadan, they would launch a military attack on Rafah in the south of Gaza; Rafah is where approximately 1.5 million Palestinians try to protect themselves from war and the relentless attacks of this regime.
