Biden Considers Israel Visit Amid Gaza's Water and Fuel Crisis

President Biden is considering a visit to Israel as the country faces a desperate humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with water and fuel shortages worsening. The invitation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would demonstrate American solidarity with Israel but also tie the United States to the bloodshed in Gaza. Israel's retaliation for recent attacks by Hamas has resulted in hundreds of airstrikes and a growing toll on Gaza's people, with over 2,800 killed and 10,850 wounded. Israel has declared a "complete siege" on Gaza, depriving the population of essential supplies. The conflict has also raised concerns about a potential regional war, with tensions escalating on Israel's northern border with Lebanon.
