Biden says Israel has occasionally been 'less than cooperative' when allowing aid to Gaza
US President Joe Biden said that Israel has occasionally been “less than cooperative” regarding getting aid into the Gaza Strip.
Speaking at the 75th anniversary NATO Summit in Washington, DC, Biden recalled his visit to Israel days after the 7 October Hamas-led attack on the country.
The American president says this trip saw him convince Netanyahu to allow aid into Gaza after Israel had imposed a full siege on the Palestinian enclave.
“We pushed [getting aid in] really hard. Israel occasionally was less than cooperative,” he said.
In Gaza, Israel bombed a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing three people, according to the Wafa news agency.
The Israeli military also announced the death of a reservist after being critically wounded by a Hezbollah drone attack on Kibbutz Kabri in northern Israel.
