The administration of US President Joe Biden seems to be ramping up strain on Israel to maintain Palestinians secure.
Israel’s army has resumed its assault on the besieged Gaza Strip after a seven-day truce collapsed.
Greater than 15,000 folks have been killed in Gaza since early October, in response to Palestinian well being authorities.
The restricted variety of support vans going into Gaza is nowhere close to sufficient to satisfy the determined wants of tens of millions of individuals, in response to support businesses, and the United Nations has warned of a humanitarian disaster.
After almost two months of the Israel-Hamas battle, the US, a key Israeli ally, seems to be shifting its tone and warning in opposition to civilian deaths in Gaza.
US Secretary of Protection Lloyd Austin says Israel dangers a “strategic defeat” if it doesn’t do extra to guard civilians.
It’s a sentiment being shared by different senior US officers.
So, what’s behind this warning from Washington?
