In his final months in office, US President Joe Biden is signalling a new willingness to use US military assistance to Israel as both a carrot and a stick to influence its high-stakes confrontation with militant groups.
Publicly, US officials say the seemingly opposing moves fit within longstanding policies that aim to both ensure Israel’s defence and to advocate for the protection of civilians in the year-old war in Gaza. But he cautioned that Washington is unlikely to scale back its military support for Israel if the conflict with Iran deepens.
Israel said Wednesday that 50 aid trucks were transferred to north Gaza from Jordan, a possible early result of the US demands.Biden has prioritized Israel’s defence since Hamas militants triggered the war by killing some 1 200 people, according to Israeli figures. He refused to halt weapons flows to Israel, except for 2 000 pound bombs, despite outcry by fellow Democrats as Israel’s war in Gaza killed 42 000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
