Recent events have highlighted growing dissatisfaction among US officials regarding President Biden’s approach to pressuring Israel following the deadly attack on aid workers. Despite Biden’s threats to reassess policies, dissenting voices within the government argue that the response falls short and won’t effectively address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Annelle Sheline, a former State Department official, criticized the delayed action, stating it could have prevented the crisis months ago. The strained US-Israel relationship reached a critical point after Biden’s call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prompting Israel to announce aid routes openings and improved security coordination. However, both current and former US officials express ongoing discontent with the policy, indicating mounting frustration within the administration. They highlight numerous unofficial forums where these grievances are aired, emphasizing the need for a more assertive stance. While the State Department encourages differing viewpoints, the consensus remains that Israel must adhere to international humanitarian law.
