President Joe Biden expressed outrage and heartbreak over the killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, prompting questions about his stance on the weapons sent to Israel. Despite tense interactions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden has not laid out consequences for Israel’s actions. There are calls for conditions on arms supplies, with concerns over Israel’s treatment of aid workers. While Biden stops short of openly rebuking Netanyahu, criticisms are mounting for his cautious approach. Biden’s strong language has not yet translated into a significant policy shift.
