The statement noted that Biden "expressed his devastation and outrage at the murder, and reaffirmed the importance of holding Hamas’s leaders accountable."
Biden and Harris also discussed the status of the August 16 "bridging" proposal, as well as further steps to be taken in consultation with "co-mediators" Qatar and Egypt.
