US Lawmakers Consider Conditional Aid to Israel Amidst Calls for Accountability

House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner stated that conditioning U.S. aid for Israel on certain demands would accurately reflect U.S. policy with allied countries. He believes that the White House has been clear about the need to reduce Palestinian civilian casualties, and that Israel has taken steps to address these concerns. While he wouldn't propose it himself, Turner stated that conditional aid to Israel would accurately reflect U.S. policy. This comes as calls for a cease-fire and conditions on U.S. aid to Israel grow due to concerns about the high civilian death toll in Gaza.
