US President Joe Biden has said that it is "not realistic" to expect Israel to halt its military operations in Gaza. While reiterating the claim of a Hamas base at the al-Shifa Hospital, the US president did not offer any concrete proof to substantiate the assertion, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday.
The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for extended humanitarian pauses in Gaza, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia abstaining from the vote. However, the calls for an immediate ceasefire went unanswered.
