Move toward a cease-fire in Gaza, make sure that we move in a direction that we’re able to make things better for the whole world,” Biden told reporters as he arrived in Berlin for a short visit. "It’s time for this war to end and bring these hostages home. That’s what we’re ready to do.”Biden spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him on the mission that killed Sinwar.

Israeli soldiers raise flag on Lebanese soil, US condemns the action Scripps News 2024-10-09 | Israel is calling a recent operation into a southern Lebanese village an occupation by its soldiers. The IDF shared an image of troops raising an Israeli flag there, and say they destroyed sites that Hezbollah used to launch attacks on Israeli territory.The US State Department opposed the action, saying they should not have raised the flag. "It's obviously inappropriate for Israeli soldiers to take that step, and we would look to them to comply with what they've said, that these are limited incursions, not with the goal of holding territory," said State Dept. Spokesperson Matthew Miller. Meanwhile, President Biden is expected to speak with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today.
