As of my last update in January 2022, US President Joe Biden recently engaged in a significant conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing the urgent need for humanitarian assistance and the protection of civilians in the ongoing conflict with Gaza. Biden conveyed a clear message to Netanyahu, urging specific and tangible actions to ensure the well-being of civilians in Gaza.
During the call, Biden emphasized the necessity of opening the Erez crossing into northern Gaza and the Ashdod port in southern Israel for humanitarian aid delivery. Additionally, he underscored the importance of increasing the flow of supplies through the Kerem Shalom crossing to expedite assistance to those affected by the conflict.
Despite previously supporting Israel’s right to self-defense, Biden expressed concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and warned Netanyahu of potential consequences if conditions for civilians did not improve promptly. This marked a shift in tone from previous statements, indicating a reevaluation of US support for Israel in light of humanitarian concerns.
While no official policy changes have been announced, reports suggest that the US is considering various measures, including potentially slowing down weapons supply to Israel. However, a final decision on this matter is pending, with other options such as adjustments to military aid or engagement with the United Nations also under consideration.
In summary, the recent conversation between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu reflects a heightened focus on humanitarian issues and a potential reassessment of US policy in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza.
