Following the 'Flour Massacre' in Nabulsi Square, northern Gaza last week, where Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians during an aid delivery, U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly refused to take a phone call from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Reports from Sky News in Arabic and Channel 12 suggest that the refusal was due to Netanyahu's failure to keep his promise to ensure that aid crossings remain open.
