U.S. Criticizes Netayahu's Failure to Reach Ceasefire But Continues to Arm His War on Gaza
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden said Monday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is
not doing enough to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal. On
Tuesday, a group of more than two dozen rights organizations, including
Amnesty International and Refugees International, sent the Biden-Harris
administration a letter highlighting, "International and U.S. law, as
well as your administration's policies … require suspending weapons
transfers to the Israeli government."
