The Biden administration has reportedly demanded that the Israeli Defense Forces make changes to the way information is transmitted about the locations of aid workers following an Israeli airstrike that killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza. A US official revealed that President Joe Biden plans to address this issue in his upcoming phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The official expressed concern that critical information about the aid convoy either did not reach the targeting team or was disregarded, highlighting a significant problem in communication protocols.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has instructed forces to maintain an open and transparent line of communication with international organizations regarding their actions. Despite the tough conversations between the White House and the Israeli government, the US continues to provide steadfast support to Israel in the form of billions of dollars in military aid.
When questioned about the lack of consequences for Israel following the airstrike, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized ongoing discussions with the Israeli government, characterizing them as challenging.
