"International Diplomats Scramble to Avert Crisis as Israel Prepares for Gaza Invasion"

Diplomats are engaged in urgent talks to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as Israel prepares for a ground invasion. The United States is deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean to deter further escalation. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency warns that it can no longer provide aid in Gaza due to the lack of supplies. President Biden warns against a full-scale occupation of Gaza but supports efforts to eliminate Hamas. The Biden administration seeks to link aid for Ukraine and Israel in an emergency assistance package. Some Republican lawmakers reject calls for Israeli restraint and argue that Israel should have the freedom to go after Hamas without any measure of restraint.
