U.S. President Joe Biden Refuses To Call For Ceasefire In Gaza

U.S. President Joe Biden has defended his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, claiming that it is "not realistic" to expect Israel to stop the war.

Reports around Hamas beheadings of 40 infants remain unconfirmed, although widely shared on social media.
