The US vice president called for a ceasefire with Hamas

US Vice President Kamala Harris strongly called on Israel to mitigate the "humanitarian disaster" in Gaza. It comes as US President Joe Biden's administration faces growing domestic pressure to rein in its close ally as it wages war with Hamas militants.

Harris called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept a deal to release the hostages in exchange for a six-week ceasefire.
