This is AP News, I'm Rita Falle. An important discussion between two world leaders today. President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to speak amid growing White House frustration with Israel's handling of the Gaza war. A U.S. official says the call will come Thursday, after an Israeli airstrike that killed seven aid workers. He's outraged, he's heartbroken. The House press secretary Kareem John Pierre and national security spokesman John Kirby say, while Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas. As a modern military and a democracy, they have obligations to the innocent people of Gaza. And they have not always met those obligations. The two leaders last spoke more than two weeks ago. Sagar, Magani, Washington. Israel says the airstrikes that killed those aid workers in Gaza was a mistake due to misidentification.

Chef Andres was heard there on the Israeli TV channel Keshet 12 News. Dozens of Bolivians who didn't have passports have been taken off a cruise ship in the port of Barcelona, Spain.
