Amid the escalating conflict in Gaza, more of President Joe Biden's top Senate allies are urging direct action to alleviate Palestinian civilian suffering and are considering cutting military aid if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not change course. What began as dissent from a few progressive Democrats has now gained momentum in response to the rising death toll in Gaza.
Even Biden's close confidant in Congress, Chris Coons, has joined calls to take a tougher stance against Netanyahu's government regarding its conduct in the war. While Israel continues to enjoy bipartisan support in Congress, the possibility of reducing military aid remains uncertain despite the growing pressure from mainstream Democrats.
