Details: Biden emphasised the need for unequivocal global condemnation of Hamas's cruel atrocities, which are reminiscent of the atrocities of the Islamic State group of many years ago.

Biden also detailed US support that has arrived or will arrive soon, including ammunition, interceptors to replenish the Iron Dome air defence system, moving the world's largest aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean and other defence means.

The White House said they had agreed to speak again in the next few days.

For reference: Hamas’s attack on Israel on Saturday, 7 October was the biggest escalation of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the last 50 years. Israel reported over 1,200 people killed, more than 900 of them in the Gaza Strip.
