The news on CNN and reported the same way on every other self-respecting news agency:

US President Joe Biden said Israel's military operation to go after Hamas had been "over the top," as he highlighted the plight of Palestinians who have endured heavy bombardment and a lack of essential supplies.

Times of Israel:

Biden calls Gaza response ‘over the top’; unclear if remarks aimed at Israel or Hamas

US president was apparently responding to question about hostage negotiations; also said ‘a lot of innocent people are dying, and it’s gotta stop’; White House does not clarify

Authoritarian governments have this strategy of cultivating honest news outlets with good journalism in "peacetime", so they can peddle bullshit from the high horse when they need it. Same thing happens in Hungary. These guys definitely do exchange ideas.
