The Biden administration is urging Israel to minimize civilian deaths in its renewed offensive in southern Gaza but has not taken measures such as threatening to restrict military aid. The U.S. officials, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have publicly called for a more surgical offensive to avoid heavy civilian casualties. However, Washington is currently ruling out withholding weapons or harshly criticizing Israel, believing that private negotiation is more effective. The United States provides significant military aid to Israel, but any attempt to cut aid could carry major risks and impact diplomatic relations. The Biden administration faces pressure from different factions, including pro-Israel voters and progressive Democrats advocating for conditions on military aid and an immediate ceasefire. The situation remains complex, and the U.S. is closely monitoring the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
