MOSCOW, August 4 US President Joe Biden used undiplomatic language during a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, The Times of Israel reports.
«Biden called on Netanyahu to 'stop talking nonsense' during their phone call on Thursday,» the publication says.
The publication notes, citing a report by 12 News, that the outburst of anger occurred after the prime minister informed the head of the White House about progress in negotiations with Hamas on a hostage agreement.
The day before yesterday, White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that the United States believes that even after the assassination of Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Israel and the Palestinian movement will be able to reach a ceasefire deal.
On Wednesday, the Palestinian Hamas movement reported the death of its Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh in an Israeli strike on his residence in Tehran, where he had arrived to attend the inauguration of Iran's new president. The movement blamed Israel and the United States for Haniyeh's death and stated that this attack will not go unanswered.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly called on the parties to the conflict to cease hostilities. Moscow is convinced that a settlement is only possible on the basis of the formula approved by the UN Security Council with the creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.
