Biden urges action on Gaza crisis in talks with Israeli Defense Minister Gantz

In recent discussions with Benny Gantz, Israeli Defense Minister and prominent political figure, top Biden administration officials conveyed their deep concerns over the dire situation in Gaza, labeling it as “unacceptable and unsustainable.”
These deliberations took place as part of the ongoing efforts by the United States to increase pressure on the Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to facilitate the entry of more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Despite such appeals, progress remains sluggish, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis and stalling ceasefire negotiations.
Gantz’s visit to Washington, DC, was undertaken independently and not endorsed by the Israeli government, leading to diplomatic friction and drawing criticism from Netanyahu. However, U.S. officials defended the decision to engage with Gantz, citing his significant influence and his perceived role as a potential future Prime Minister of Israel.
The frustration within the Biden administration is palpable as the Netanyahu government persists in its reluctance to open additional land crossings for vital aid to reach Gaza. Consequently
