The president urged an "immediate cease-fire," in what was the first time he threatened to condition aid to Israel during its six-month offensive.

Tide turns sharply against Israel's war in Gaza

... Israel's killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers has the makings of a watershed moment in Washington, rapidly accelerating a months-long decline in U.S. support for the war in Gaza.
Why it matters: President Biden called for an "immediate ceasefire" Thursday and told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that future U.S. policy "will be determined by our assessment of Israel's immediate action" on addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and protecting aid workers. ...
@#5 ... Bibi tells Biden: Putin will support us if you don't. ...
Yeah, Prime Minister Netanyahu is a wild card in this equation.
He is starting to see opposition from within Israel...
Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz calls for early elections
www.axios.com
... Benny Gantz, a prominent member of Israel's war cabinet, called on Wednesday for early elections to be held in September -- before the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks that shook the country.
Why it matters: This is the first time since Oct. 7 that Gantz, a retired army general who currently leads in the polls by a wide margin, has called for early elections. ...
So, a desperate person backed into a corner?
That ain't a good scenario.
Or what? Were going to take your milk money? Biden doesn't get to dictate what happens with Israel ...
Like Trumpy couldn't "dictate" what Ukraine had to do to get those stinger missiles when Trumpy needed dirt on Biden?
Biden and the Dems do get to "dictate" how we help Israel or not.
I bet if those F15 fighter jets got delayed because of this Israel would sit up and take notice.
And even "if the Biden administration remains reluctant to impose conditions on aid to Israel, the top two Democrats on the Senate and House foreign relations committees could try to ratchet up the pressure on the White House by refusing to approve a proposed $18 billion arms package for Israel, which includes more F-15 fighter jets. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, have yet to say publicly if they will sign off on the planned sale."
