For the first time, President Biden has said that Israel's behavior will determine the U.S.'s policy on Gaza moving forward. In a phone call yesterday, Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel must take a series of "specific, concrete, and measurable steps" to address civilian deaths, humanitarian suffering and aid worker safety. Israel later announced it would allow temporary aid delivery directly to an Israeli port and open a main crossing in northern Gaza. Biden and Netanyahu's conversation came after an Israeli strike on Monday killed seven workers for the aid group World Central Kitchen.
