US president Joe Biden has expressed sympathy for Palestinians in Gaza in a message to Muslims marking Eid al-Fitr.

“As Muslim families and communities come together for Eid al-Fitr, they are also reflecting on the pain felt by so many. My thoughts are with those around the world enduring conflict, hunger, and displacement, including in places such as Gaza and Sudan,” Biden said in a post on X.

“Now is the time to recommit to the work of building peace and standing for the dignity of all.”
