Biden condemns Gaza aid workers’ killing, urges cease-fire
President Joe Biden condemned the killing of aid workers of a U.S.-based charity in Gaza during a tense 30-minute call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He also urged an immediate cease-fire to halt the ongoing violence.
Following the call, Israel announced it will allow temporary delivery of humanitarian aid through the port of Ashdod and the Beit Hanoon land crossing, also known as the Erez checkpoint.
The White House has stressed that the strikes on humanitarian workers were “unacceptable,” indicating a potential shift in U.S. policy toward Israel.
Biden urged Israel to implement concrete reforms to address civilian harm and humanitarian suffering.
Amid stalled cease-fire talks, Hamas has accused Israel of intransigence.
Israel’s military offensive has resulted in extensive casualties and infrastructure damage, worsening the humanitarian crises in Gaza with shortages of food, water, and medicine.
Despite this, the U.S. approved the transfer of additional bombs to Israel, citing a pre-approved sale.
The conflict has forced 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement, while 60% of its infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
