"Biden's Top Adviser Heads to Israel Amid Escalating Pressure on Egyptian Border and Gaza"

President Biden sent National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to Israel to meet with Israeli officials amid tensions over the post-war governance of Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that Hamas fighters hiding in underground tunnels will not be safe as the fighting intensifies. A top Hamas official called for violence against American and British interests in response to the deaths of Gaza citizens. The Biden administration denies setting a specific timeline for Israel's military operations in Gaza but has urged a transition to lower intensity operations to reduce civilian casualties. The U.S. is also seeking to form a coalition to protect trade vessels in the Red Sea from Houthi rebels in Yemen. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue the war against Hamas despite international pressure.
