U.S. Support for Israel Wanes After Gaza Aid Worker Deaths

Israel's recent killing of seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen has triggered a significant shift in U.S. support for the war in Gaza. President Biden's call for an immediate ceasefire and warning to Israel about future policy changes marks a turning point in the longstanding relationship between the two countries. The outrage over the strikes has led to calls for conditioning aid to Israel and even considering sanctions, signaling a growing discontent with Israel's actions. The incident has also strained relations between the U.S. and Israel, with Biden under pressure to follow through on his promises to change policy if Israel does not take tangible steps to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and protect aid workers. The international community, including the United Arab Emirates, has also expressed concern and paused aid efforts in Gaza until assurances are made for the safety of aid workers. Israel has claimed the strikes were a tragic accident, but the incident has sparked global backlash and calls for accountability. José Andrés, a prominent figure in the humanitarian world, has been instrumental in galvanizing outrage against Israel and calling for an end to the violence. The future of U.S.-Israel relations hangs in the balance as the Biden administration faces mounting pressure to take decisive action in response to the Gaza crisis.
