"Biden Issues Ultimatum to Netanyahu Over Gaza Civilian Protection"

President Biden issued an ultimatum to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, demanding the protection of Palestinian civilians and foreign aid workers in Gaza or facing potential consequences, following an Israeli attack that killed seven aid workers. The White House did not specify the exact steps it wanted Israel to take but hinted at potential repercussions, such as slowing U.S. arms transfers or tempering support at the U.N. Biden's stance reflects a balancing act between progressive Democrats' pressure to rein in Israel and the risk of alienating pro-Israel voters. The call for action comes after months of U.S. calls for Israel to change its military tactics that have resulted in a high Palestinian civilian death toll.
