Abstract
- President Biden is facing political pressure following an Israeli airstrike on Rafah that resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians. While Israel claimed the strike killed two top Hamas officials, Palestinian authorities reported at least 45 civilian deaths, including women and children. This incident adds to the ongoing debate within Biden's party about the level of support the US should provide to Israel. The White House responded by calling for Israel to take precautions to protect civilians, but reiterated its support for Israel's defense against Hamas. Biden's handling of the conflict has been criticized by both Republicans and progressive Democrats. [Extracted from the article]
