"U.S. Rebukes Israel for Deadly Strike on World Central Kitchen in Gaza"

President Biden rebuked Israel for creating difficult and deadly conditions for aid distribution in Gaza following the strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, while Netanyahu expressed deep regret over the incident. The conflict escalated with Hamas militants launching a cross-border attack on Israel, leading to a ground invasion and significant displacement. Israel's resistance to allowing more humanitarian aid into Gaza has exacerbated the crisis, despite U.S. support for Israel and its vetoing of U.N. cease-fire resolutions. The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are deep and complex, predating the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.
