Biden says Israel's Netanyahu is not doing enough to reach Gaza hostage deal

After Hamas's execution of six hostages in Gaza sparked massive strikes and protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu throughout Israel over the weekend, US President Joe Biden, one of Netanyahu's staunchest allies, on Monday called for more "urgency" from Netanyahu to reach a hostage deal. This prompted the prime minister to push back on the comments and Hamas to frame them as validation of Israel's refusal to cooperate on a ceasefire deal.
