"I will say that I consider his actions a mistake. I disagree with his approach. I think it's unacceptable that volunteer vehicles were attacked by drones," Biden said.
These are the sharpest and most critical remarks of the American president against Netanyahu.
Biden also "called on the Israelis to hold a ceasefire so that over the next six to eight weeks they can ensure full access to food and medicine coming into the country.
