President Joe Biden has made a significant shift in US policy towards Israel's actions in Gaza, urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take specific steps to ease civilian suffering and protect aid workers. The US president has warned of potential changes in US support for Israel if Netanyahu does not comply.
Following a high-stakes call between Biden and Netanyahu, Israel approved steps to reopen the Erez crossing to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, a sustained pivot by Israel will be necessary to address criticism and political risks for both leaders.
