The first call between Israel\u2019s Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden since the Israeli air strike was tense.\xa0

President Biden is friends with chef Jos\xe9 Andr\xe9s 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.\xa0

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.\xa0

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that a weapons suspension is unlikely, especially in the throes of the election campaign.\xa0

He said that there are also calls for Biden to surge medical supplies to Gaza.\xa0
