‘Indiscriminate’: US calls on Israel to scale down bombing

The Biden administration is calling on Israel to scale down its bombing campaign against targets in Gaza, calling its strikes 'indiscriminate'. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has visited Israel, reaffirming the US' support. The Defence Secretary did however stress that Israel must change its strategy to retain global support. US sources say they are hopeful of a two-state solution in Gaza, headed by the Palestinian authority. Israeli leadership have rejected the idea of a two-state solution.
