During a conversation with the U.S. president, the Israeli prime minister expressed his gratitude for the support he received from the American government.

Meanwhile, Mahmud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, expressed his strong opposition to the "eviction of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip" in a conversation with Biden.
