US President Joe Biden spoke with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, amid flagging US efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.
The White House said that Vice President Kamal Harris also joined the call.
Biden’s call to Netanyahu comes amid a flurry of news reports in which Arab officials have cast doubt on the viability of the US’s "bridging proposals" to achieve a ceasefire.
