"Biden Urges Increased Aid to Gaza Amid Escalating Conflict"

The United States is urging Israel to increase the flow of aid into Gaza, with a goal of allowing up to 100 trucks per day to enter the territory. However, the U.S. does not support a ceasefire at this time, believing it would benefit Hamas. The U.S. is closely monitoring the situation and asking Israel about its aims in targeting Hamas, while also emphasizing the importance of following the rules of war to protect innocent lives. The corridor from Rafah into Gaza remains closed to foreign nationals, including Americans, who want to leave the area.
