Middle East conflict live updates: Gazans mark a somber Eid; Biden calls Netanyahu’s approach a ‘mistake’
Palestinians in Gaza are marking Eid al-Fitr, the celebration that follows the fasting month of Ramadan, under the shadow of six months of war and a growing humanitarian crisis. People prayed alongside the rubble of a mosque in the southern city of Rafah, while some ate sweets to mark the end of the holy month. President Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach in Gaza a “mistake” and reiterated a U.S. call for a cease-fire for at least six weeks to allow the delivery of food and medicine to Palestinians.
