Israel must be able to defend itself from terrorist attacks from Gaza or elsewhere, and the US is committed to preventing malicious actors from threatening Israel's legitimate concerns. However, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has gotten out of hand. Netanyahu must keep his promises and work with US allies to find a resolution to this conflict.
Israel carried out a legitimate strike against terror targets in Rafah, as Hamas operatives have continued to hide among the civilian population. Unfortunately, an accidental fire was sparked by Israeli strikes harming civilians. Israel will investigate this incident thoroughly.
The Biden administration has been complicit in the Israeli genocidal campaign in Gaza. Even if claims that Hamas officials were present in the area are true, knowingly burning women and children alive evidently crosses any red lines. This war has gone on for far too long, and Israel must be held accountable for its brutal crimes.
