Israel bombs southern Gaza despite increasing pressure from US, allies

Israel came under pressure Wednesday from its allies over its war in Gaza, with key backer the United States criticising its bombing in response to the October 7 attacks as "indiscriminate". Biden told a campaign event in Washington that Israel had "most of the world supporting it" after the Hamas attack. "But they're starting to lose that support by the indiscriminate bombing that takes place," he said. Biden also renewed calls for a two-state solution and said Israeli PM Netanyahu needs to replace his hardline government that opposes such a move.
