US President Joe Biden expressed support for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers in a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today, the eighth day of airstrikes and rocket barrages that have killed at least 200 people, most of them Palestinians in Gaza.Mr Biden stopped short of joining the growing demands from Democrats and others for an immediate ceasefire in the fighting.
