Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the latest call between President Joe Biden and Israel's Netanyahu

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Mondays

The first call between Israel’s Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden since the Israeli air strike was tense.  President Biden is friends with chef José Andrés who runs the food aid effort that has provided more than 43 million meals to people in Gaza, and is said to be outraged and heartbroken.  Just hours before the air strike the sale of 2000 bombs for Israel was authorized by the US, and Senator Elizabeth Warren is calling for a suspension of arms sales to the country.  US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that a weapons suspension is unlikely, especially in the throes of the election campaign.  He said that there are also calls for Biden to surge medical supplies to Gaza.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
