Speaking to reporters at the National Institutes of Health following a speech on lowering drug costs, Biden was asked if he wants Israel to scale back its assault of Gaza by the end of the year.
“I want them to be focused on how to save civilian lives; not stop going after Hamas, but be more careful," Biden responded.
Israel's defense minister said Thursday it will take months to destroy Hamas, predicting a drawn-out war even as his country and its top ally, the United States, face increasing international isolation and alarm over the devastation from the campaign in Gaza.
Yoav Gallant's comments came as U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Israeli leaders to discuss a timetable for winding down major combat in Gaza. Israeli leaders repeated their determination to pursue the military assault until they crush the militant group for its Oct. 7 attack.
