"Israeli Minister Gantz's White House Visit: Subdued Revenge and Unity Efforts"

Benny Gantz, an Israeli minister, met with top US officials in Washington, signaling US frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite expressing support for Israel and urging aid to Gaza, the meetings were seen as a "meaningless" gesture by rights advocates. While Biden's administration is reportedly irritated with Netanyahu, it has ruled out withholding aid to pressure Israel. Analysts caution that Gantz should not be seen as a moderate alternative, as he shares the Israeli government's goal of eliminating Hamas. The US is criticized for not using its leverage to pressure Israel to allow more humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
