Cross for The New York Times<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">President Biden said Thursday that in the days after the war in Gaza began, he pushed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to prevent civilian deaths and to accommodate Palestinians\u2019 concerns, while maintaining the United States\u2019 firm support for Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden spoke with the MSNBC host Lawrence O\u2019Donnell in his last television interview while in office, during which he also discussed his political career and presidency. The interview, which aired Thursday night, was taped earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The 15-month-long war, which began after Hamas led a deadly attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. Most of Gaza\u2019s roughly two million residents have been displaced at least once, and much of the enclave has been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden and other leaders announced a provisional <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/15\/world\/middleeast\/gaza-ceasefire-israel-hamas.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">cease-fire deal<\/a> on Wednesday that has raised hopes that Israel\u2019s military assault on Gaza will come to an end. Under the deal to halt the fighting, some hostages held by Hamas in Gaza would be released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The president and his advisers struggled for months to negotiate an end to the conflict. Mr. Biden, who put the cease-fire deal on the table <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/31\/us\/politics\/biden-israel-remarks-speech.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">in May<\/a>, said on MSNBC that he had told Mr. Netanyahu repeatedly that \u201che has to find a way to accommodate the legitimate concerns\u201d of Palestinians. He called Mr. Netanyahu a friend but said, \u201cWe don\u2019t agree a whole lot lately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Critics, including some families of hostages who have pressed for a cease-fire deal, have accused Mr. Netanyahu of intentionally stalling negotiations to prolong the conflict. Mr. Biden did not directly answer when asked whether he thought Mr. Netanyahu had done so. He said that the Israeli prime minister had come under political pressure from Israel\u2019s right-wing, and was at times forced \u201cto do some of the things that, in my belief, I thought were counterproductive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">To achieve the cease-fire agreement, President-elect Donald J. Trump and Mr. Biden directed their advisers to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/15\/us\/politics\/trump-biden-gaza-ceasefire.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">work together<\/a>. Mr. Biden said in the Thursday interview that he had had no discussions with Mr. Trump about the negotiations during the past two weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Biden recalled that the first time he urged Mr. Netanyahu to prevent civilian deaths was during a visit to Israel 10 days after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023. Mr. Biden said he told the prime minister that the United States would support Israel, but that \u201cyou can\u2019t be carpet-bombing these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/12\/26\/world\/middleeast\/israel-gaza-strikes-takeaways.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Israel\u2019s bombing campaign<\/a> has been one of the most intense in 21st-century warfare, and the country has at times used inaccurate bombs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">During the interview, Mr. Biden defended his steadfast support for Israel throughout the conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen Iran thought it was going to blow Israel off the map \u2014 they had those thousands of missiles heading their way,\u201d he said. \u201cWell, guess what?
