During the call, Biden and Netanyahu discussed the necessity to ramp up humanitarian deliveries in the Gaza Strip, where 10,000 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes. Biden reiterated his support for Israel while emphasising the need to protect Palestinian civilians.
Jordan reportedly coordinated with the United States and Israel to conduct the airdrop in Gaza. Although humanitarian aid has been allowed through Rafah border crossing, UN agencies said that they are not enough to handle the current crisis after Israel's besiegement of the Strip.
Earlier, Israel said that at least 150 hostages, including foreigners, were captured by Hamas militants since their surprise attack on Saturday. Israel has blocked supply of electricity, food and water until those hostages are released by the armed group.
