"Biden's Risky Middle East Trip: Israel, Hamas War Updates and Imminent Ground Invasion"

Jordan will host a summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the dangerous developments in Gaza and ensure the provision of aid. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is no longer able to provide aid to the civilians in Gaza due to a lack of supplies. The Israeli military is preparing for the next stages of the war with Hamas, which may not necessarily involve a ground incursion. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei called for Israel to be tried for its actions in Gaza, while Iran's foreign minister warned of potential pre-emptive action from resistance groups against Israel. The UN human rights office expressed concern that Israel's evacuation order in Gaza could amount to a crime of "forcible transfer" in breach of international law. Hamas reported that its official overseeing crossings out of Gaza was killed in an Israeli airstrike. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned Iran and Hezbollah not to intervene in the conflict. The Israeli military said that roughly half a million Israeli people have been internally displaced, while the UN expressed alarm at the Israeli military's evacuation directive in Gaza. Iran warned of potential pre-emptive action from resistance groups against Israel. President Joe Biden announced that he will travel to Israel to stand in solidarity against Hamas's terrorist attack. Arab leaders urged the U.S. to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and the top U.S. general overseeing American forces in the Middle East made an unannounced trip to Israel. Israel retaliated against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, and satellite images showed crowds gathering at the Gaza-Egypt border crossing.
