"Cease-Fire Talks in Jeopardy as Biden Faces Mounting Pressure Over Gaza Violence"

The Biden administration is working to salvage cease-fire negotiations after reports of dozens of Palestinians being killed by Israeli forces while waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza, leading to a growing sense of pessimism in the White House about finalizing a deal. President Biden faces rising frustration with Israel's approach to the conflict and pressure at home, but remains unwilling to make major policy shifts. The administration is considering military air drops to provide aid to Palestinians in Gaza, while U.S. allies express frustration and call for investigations into the civilian deaths.
