In a recent development in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, President Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the military campaign in Gaza. According to a White House readout, the leaders discussed the objectives and phasing of Israel's operation while emphasizing the crucial need to protect civilian populations.
Democratic congressman from California, Brad Brad Sherman, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, weighed in on President Biden's approach. While acknowledging that there is a significant portion of the American population who disagree with the president's actions, Congressman Sherman believes that Biden is skillfully reflecting the American people's desire to support Israel while also advocating for adherence to the rules of war.
