US President Joe Biden has a "positive perspective" on the sale of F-16s to Turkey and is ready to present his proposal to Congress, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

US President Joe Biden "expressed support for recent constructive steps" in the relationship between Greece and Turkey in a call with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday, the White House spokesperson.

The presidents also spoke about Sweden's application to join the NATO alliance.

Israel bombed Gaza on Thursday as a top White House advisor was due to arrive in Jerusalem with a rift growing over U.S. calls for its ally to exercise restraint.
