The president is still pushing for an $18 billion weapons sale to the Israeli government despite being “outraged” by the World Central Kitchen strikes.
Netanyahu, who has rebuffed international scrutiny of his war effort, expressed “regret” for the incident and said it would be investigated—but also seemed to excuse what he called an “unintentional” killing. “It happens during war,” the prime minister said. Yet, the attack was a damning indictment of the way Netanyahu has executed this war, and ramped up calls for an end to the violence.
” The attack—which included three strikes on a marked aid convoy traveling in a “deconflicted zone”—reveals “Israeli carelessness toward Gaza civilians and international humanitarians alike,” as a Biden administration official told Politico, and should be a long-overdue turning point in the conflict. “This can only be understood as a decision that was equal parts devastating and pointless,” the board of Haaretz, one of Israel’s most widely-read newspapers, wrote in a fiery editorial.
