The White House on Sunday said US President Joe Biden had again spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as pressure builds on Israel and Hamas to reach a deal that would free some Israeli hostages and bring a ceasefire in the nearly seven-month-long war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The White House said that Biden reiterated his \u201cclear position\u201d as Israel plans to invade Gaza\u2019s southernmost city of Rafah despite global concern for more than 1 million Palestinians sheltering there. The US opposes the invasion on humanitarian grounds, straining relations between the allies. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is returning to the Middle East on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also stressed that progress in delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza be \u201csustained and enhanced,\u201d according to the statement. It was less stark than their previous call this month in which Biden warned that future US support for Israel in the war depends on swift implementation of new steps to protect civilians and aid workers. There was no comment from Netanyahu&#8217;s office on the latest call.<\/p>\n<p>A senior official from key intermediary Qatar, meanwhile, urged Israel and Hamas to show \u201cmore commitment and more seriousness&#8221; in negotiations. Qatar, which hosts Hamas&#8217; headquarters in Doha, was instrumental along with the US and Egypt in helping negotiate a brief halt to the fighting in November that led to the release of dozens of hostages. But in a sign of frustration, Qatar this month said that it was reassessing its role.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union&#8217;s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, speaking at a World Economic Forum session in Riyadh on Sunday, said the only solution to the Israel-Hamas conflict was for the land to be shared. &#8220;Here in Gaza and in Palestine [&#8230;] is a war for the land two people who are fighting for the same land. And the only solution is to share this land,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>An Israeli delegation is expected in Egypt in the coming days to discuss the latest proposals in negotiations, and senior Hamas official Basem Naim said in a message to The Associated Press that a delegation from the militant group will also head to Cairo. Egypt\u2019s state-owned Al Qahera News satellite television channel said that the delegation would arrive on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The comments by Qatar\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari in interviews with the liberal daily Haaretz and Israeli public broadcaster Kan were published and aired Saturday evening. Al-Ansari expressed disappointment with Hamas and Israel, saying each side has made decisions based on political interests and not with civilians&#8217; welfare in mind. He didn&#8217;t reveal details on the talks other than to say they have \u201ceffectively stopped,\u201d with \u201cboth sides entrenched in their positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/04\/28\/biden-and-netanyahu-speak-as-pressure-grows-on-israel-over-rafah\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/04\/28\/biden-and-netanyahu-speak-as-pressure-grows-on-israel-over-rafah\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/biden-and-netanyahu-speak-as-pressure-grows-on-israel-over-rafah\/\">Biden and Netanyahu speak as pressure grows on Israel over Rafah<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3444,1684,5643,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-130074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-gaza","tag-israel","tag-usa","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130074\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
