US President Joe Biden pressed for a ceasefire in the nine-month-old war in Gaza during talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday.
"We've got a lot to talk about," Biden said, welcoming Netanyahu to the Oval Office.
"I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the state of Israel," Netanyahu told Biden.
“We are closer now than we've been before,” White House national security spokesperson John Kirby reportedly said, referring to the prospect of a ceasefire.
