"I am of the opinion that Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip have been excessively severe."
This was stated by US President Biden at a press conference in the White House. The speech of the head of state marks a new stage in his public position regarding the war in Gaza, reported CNN.
For most of the months after October 7, Biden embraced Israel's actions and staunchly defended its right to go after Hamas.
Biden expressed optimism that the deal now being struck, which combines the release of hostages with a prolonged pause in hostilities, could ultimately lead to a more lasting change in the war.
