Palestinians at a site struck by Israeli air strikes in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Oct. 14, 2023.Pressure is growing on U.S. President Joe Biden to help alleviate the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian and foreign civilians are trapped amid a siege and expected ground invasion in Israel’s war with Hamas.
In it, the signatories condemned Hamas’s attack as “the worst perpetration of violence inflicted on the Jewish people since the Holocaust” and backed Israel’s “right to defend its people and respond to these vicious attacks.” According to a White House summary of the call with Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Biden said he was trying to “ensure innocent civilians have access to water, food and medical care.” He gave Mr. Abbas his “full support” for the Palestinian Authority’s efforts to get aid to Gaza.
Mr. Miller, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said it is unlikely Mr. Biden’s position on the war is going to change: In a pair of emotional speeches this week, Mr. Biden said his administration “stands with Israel” and will “make sure Israel has what it needs.”
