As a U.S. aid ship heads to Gaza, Biden again warns Netanyahu on civilian deaths

A U.S. Army ship was on its way to the Mediterranean on Saturday, less than two days after President Biden announced that the military would head up an emergency mission to build a temporary pier in Gaza that can receive large aid shipments.

The expansion of U.S. aid efforts to Gaza comes amid signs of growing tension between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's military operations in Gaza, which have left more than 31,000 Palestinians dead, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
