Biden's Mixed Messages: Empathy for Israelis, Criticism for Israel's Actions in Gaza

President Joe Biden warned that Israel is losing international support due to its "indiscriminate bombing" of Gaza, just hours before the United Nations called for a humanitarian cease-fire. Biden expressed concern for the safety of innocent Palestinians and urged Israel to prevent civilian casualties. He also criticized the Israeli war cabinet and called for a change in the government. Israeli officials pushed back against Biden's claim of indiscriminate bombing, stating that they operate with precision. The U.N. General Assembly voted on a nonbinding resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, while the U.S. vetoed a similar measure at the Security Council.
