WASHINGTON â The White House says President Joe Biden has expressed âsupportâ for a cease-fire during a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A statement says the leaders spoke Monday, which was the eighth day of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.
Bidenâs move signals U.S. concern for an end to Israelâs part of hostilities with Hamas, although it falls short of joining growing Democratic Party demands for an immediate cease-fire.
The White House says the president reiterated his firm support for Israelâs right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks.

JERSUALEM â Israelâs military says it identified six rockets launched from Lebanon that apparently fell inside Lebanese territory.
