Biden urges Iran not to attack Israel

DELAWARE: US President Joe Biden on Saturday (August 10) urged Iran to avoid retaliating against Israel and to refrain from escalating tensions in the Middle East. He made this appeal while heading to his motorcade after attending Mass at St. Edmond’s Catholic Church during a weekend visit to Delaware.

When reporters inquired about his message to Iran, President Biden responded by mouthing the word “don’t.” The White House earlier said it was “deeply concerned” about an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza City school compound on Saturday that local civil defense officials say killed around 100 people.

The school compound in Gaza City housed displaced Palestinian families. The Gaza Civil Emergency Service, which has a credible record stating casualty numbers, said about 100 people were killed in Saturday’s strike. Israel said around 20 militants had been operating at the compound.
