The president, in a phone call, said that the overall humanitarian situation in Gaza was “unacceptable.”
“President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable,” a White House readout of the call said. “He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.
During a NATO press conference on Thursday afternoon, Secretary of State Antony Blinken similarly adopted a much harsher tone on Israel, saying that the strike on World Central Kitchen “must be the last” attack on aid workers. He insisted that Israel’s approach needs to change if it hopes to retain U.S. support.
